The flowering at Beaucastel began on the 26th of May with the syrah and cinsault, followed on the 27 by the grenache and finished June 6 with the mourvèdres and counoise. It is said that the period from flowering to harvest is 100 days, we therefore expect the harvest at the beginning of September at Châteauneuf-du-Pape.  In Vacqueyras and Gigondas, the beginning of flowering took place between the 2nd and 3rd June and are expected to end now. (June 15).  Same for Rasteau and Cairanne.  In Vinsobres, the floraison of the syrah are finished (nouaison stage), and all of our grenache is in full flower.  We certainly expect that our harvest for 2005 will by the end of September.
