The harvest is in full swing in Burgundy.
“The vineyards of the Bourgogne region are poised to yield a harvest of healthy, perfectly formed grapes, with small, well-ventilated bunches on vines that have enjoyed a particularly sunny summer.” –Bourgogne Wine Board
We wanted to share some photos and news with you here. We’ll continue to share these photos with you as harvest progresses. Enjoy!
