Quarts de Chaume: say no to cryoextraction tomorrow

 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. 

For more details please see here, here and here.

or this?

Claude Papin (Château Pierre-Bise) is the president of the Syndicat des Quarts de Chaume. I am sure he would welcome your views on the use of cryoextraction in the Quarts de Chaume. His email address is chateaupb@hotmail.com
