Clos Roche Blanche: 2008 harvest finished

Tried without success to get Catherine Roussel (Clos Roche Blanche, AC Touraine) on the phone yesterday to get a progess report. Their US importer Louis Dressner (http://louisdressner.com) has the details on their site of the end of their harvest – they finished on Monday 13th October. Apparently Didier had insisted that they wait until the Cabernet was fully ripe – sound man!

I'm off to Chianti on a press trip for a few days and will catch up on the news of the harvest when I get back late Thursday. Plan to post of few pics while I'm away.

Still to come reports on the final day of Loire visits with Sarah Ahmed, the wine detective, which we spent in Montlouis. Hope to get these finished soon.
