Last night I received an email from Patrick Baudouin pointing me to his blog and to his posting (L'Oeil du Tri) on the tri of 30th October in the Quarts de Chaume. He disagreed with Philippe Delesvaux's pessimistic assessment that it was best to finish picking around the 20th October to avoid the rains.

Also brief news here of the end of the vintage at Domaine Aloha, Fiefs Vendéens.
