Difficult beginning of 2017 season

Spring frosts

Young shoots have frozen in the coolest and/or most humid mornings between 18 and 29 april.

We estimate a loss of crop of about 25 % in our vineyard ; the biggest damage since 2003.

Moreover, we will have difficulties to prune next year ...

Meanwhile, let's hope that the climatic conditions are more mild to allow the young shoots saved to give us beautiful grapes !
