The Petit Verdot can wait
The rain expected on Sunday threatens the health of the grapes. The most fragile at this stage are the Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Castets, Bouchalès and Jurançon Noir. The Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Mancin and Saint-Macaire will be able to wait a little longer. We will assess things day by day depending on the sanitary condition of the grapes.
Yesterday we brought in Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Today we carry on with our Merlots from Peyron and our Jurançon Noir from Médecine.
