“La Coulure” is a natural phenomenon, which is particularly sensitive on certain grapes (grenache…), which leads to the dropping of immature fruit, especially of the non fertilized blossom or young grape at its first stages of its development. This year, we have noted very few incidence, with much gratitude to good weather. We anticipate that the absence of this form of ‘natural selection' should result in a green harvest closer to mid-july.

andrew from Nemea Greece
i have been searching for an answer to this problem,as most of my vineyard has been decimated by this phenomenon. i have observed that as the bud shoots grew the more berries dropped off. Normally the top grape and then the second grapes were lost or shedded.
