The Saint-Macaire is going crazy this year; it has pushed out its primary bud but also its secondary buds
Let's hope these buds make it through this frost spell!
They are forecasting -2 for tonight. We have placed frost candles on this parcel as well as on an early-budding Merlot parcel.
On the other parcels, if temperatures do not drop any lower, we remain confident. Losses should be limited.
The vines are less advanced than last year.
