2006 grape harvest

2006 grape harvest

Today, we are harvesting  white Crozes Hermitage.

The main difference with yesterday’s operation: it will be vinified in stainless steel tanks.

As you can see, the ground is a bit steep so all the work is done by hand.

The 2006 grape harvest is on!

The 2006 grape harvest is on!

First day of the grape harvest.

8:00 a.m. Everybody is ready and it’s time for Olivier’s last recommendations before getting to work.

On  today’s agenda: picking grapes for White Crozes Hermitage “La Croix du Verre“.

At 9, the first grapes found their way  to the winery for pressing. The juice (must) is then put into a tank to let the must settle … it’s a 2-day operation. That clarified juice will be vinified in oak barrels
