Well, i think we can start saying that this year we are very lucky.
The weather is still outstanding, very sunny and very windy.
We had about 20 mm of rain last tuesday, and then the mistral started again and the sun came back.
The weather forecast for the next days is the same and we feel really lucky especially when we look at the forecast for tomorrow which shows once again that south-east of France has unique weather conditions this year.
In Gigondas, Vacqueyras and Cotes du Rhône, we just finished.
In Vinsobres, we started harvesting the Syrah yesterday.
People start saying that 2007 will be in line with 89 or 90. Great colour, great concentration... we will see but for sure it will be at least a very good vintage.
