Allée Bleue April 2014 Newsletter - The harvest report

Allée Bleue
We have had a cool ( especially in the evenings) and wet early summer and this is the latest date that we have started harvesting during my tenor at Allee Bleue.

8 days later than in 2013 and most of my colleagues are in agreement that our season is about 10 days later than the norm. The wet weather brings with it certain pitfalls but if you have the right people in the vineyards doing their thing, vintages like this turn out to be some of our best. Also the cool weather ensures that the grapes are ripening at a slow but steady pace and this always bodes well for top quality grapes which will have a positive influence on wine quality.
