The spring frosts didn’t affect our region. The most sensitive vineyard (as Quincy) are now protected “eolienne” system.
The flowering was extremely fast during a really hot weather period who gave problems of abortion.
The hot temperatures of August week of 15th gave an homogeneous and fast berry color change (ripening).
Some storms with little hail appeared in May and July in Sancerre and Menetou-Salon but don’t cause big troubles.

Harvest time

The harvest lasted from september 16th to october 15th with a dry and cool weather.
The dry weather of september with cold nights and nice days, the reasonable yields allowed very healthy grapes for reds and whites.
The principal harvest took place beetween september 25th and October 5th. The study of skin and aromas give the opportunity for wine makers to choose the right day to pick up the best grapes.
