On this Sémillon vine, all the bunches look like this

Large berries, smaller ones… And all are ripening slowly but surely. The vine always holds surprises in store. In any case, ripeness is progressing. We start on Tuesday 26 August. To the exact day, the same date as in 2022. Another early year. Yet it seems that the balance is better this year, with better-preserved acidity, but also slightly higher alcohol levels. On the other hand, there will certainly be less juice. The rainless summer has left its mark.
