Frédéric Mabileau, Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil and Saumur Blanc
Fréderic and Thomas are both very optimistic. “For the Chenin at le Puy Notre Dame we’ll do the first picking on 6 and 7 October and then the second through the vines 10 to 14 days later. We’ll start picking the Cabernet Franc on Wednesday 8 October.” The ban de vendanges for Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil is set for the 4 October
Jean-Marie Bourgeois, Henri Bourgeois, Sancerre
“The weather is great at the moment. We will be starting in earnest on Wednesday/Thursday of next week.”
Look out for further updates soon.
