Just got an e-mail from Florent Baumard. He tells me that they started harvesting the Chenin Blanc at the end of August and now there is only the last of the sweet Quarts de Chaume left to pick. It is the earliest he has harvested and his grape pickers will be sent home a month earlier than usual! He says the grape juice is wonderful and is looking forward to finishing the first wines. Should be a good vintage.
