This photo was not taken in June
This flowering bunch of Merlot was photographed yesterday on our Peyron plot.
It is the vine’s reaction to the violent hail on 15 July. The vine has urgently sent out new inflorescences, a survival message in the face of weather it struggles to decipher.
Unfortunately, these bunches will not have time to reach maturity.
