Will the producers vote for this?
The Syndicat des Quarts de Chaume meets tomorrow to decide whether to permit the use of cryoextraction to concentrate the grapes/must. Two producers – Baumard and Laffourcade – have requested that cryoextraction should be allowed.
Along with Bonnezeaux, the Quarts de Chaume is the Loire top sweet wine appellation. There should be no place for cryoextraction here. I hope and trust that the Syndicat will reject this demand.
