It rained about 40 millimeters on sunday. Monday morning the north wind (mistral) started to blow strongly under a nice sun and dried the grapes. We did not harvest until tuesday when we picked the grenache grapes of our Côtes-du-Rhône Perrin Réserve. This vine is located in front of the Domaine du Grand Prébois which is also the winery of Perrin & Fils.
In Beaucastel, we will wait a few more days before picking the Grenache. Our feeling is that this should allow us to pick the grapes at perfect ripeness.
