Melon de Bourgogne late September 2009 Chéreau-Carré
Digital cameras are wonderful but it can take a long time to sort through what you have taken. This series of pics was taken during a visit to Château de Chasseloir at the end of September in 2009. Conditions were still perfect and this was the end of the vintage. Indeed so good had the conditions been that you can see that some of the grapes are way riper than is customary in the Pays Nantais.
The vines are obviously quite old but they are not the Chasseloir parcel of 100 year old vines
Bernard Chéreau – clearly the boss is not expected to pick many grapes!

Great photos. And it's so nice to see the sunshine and remember how pleasant it was at that time of year. We woke up to about 3" of snow this morning. It wasn't there when we let the dog out for...at 3am. More snow is forecast all week.
ReplyDeleteHow we long for the warmth and the sunshine.
Thanks Jean. It does seem a long way off in these cold miserable days!
ReplyDeleteThe entire C-C family makes wonderful wines. I eagerly await each new vintage here in Alberta.
