2006 grape harvest
Today, the sun is shining. It’s time to harvest grapes for Red Crozes Hermitage.
The grapes are fully mature and they look great.
Olivier feels it will be a great vintage (look at him, measuring the alcohol level).
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!
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
