This week has seen most Touraine producers start picking with some, like Vincent Ricard, accelerating following the heavy rain Thursday night/ early Friday morning.
This afternoon we had a quick drive round to see a number of producers – just dropping in to see how the harvest was progressing.

We're hearing the hum of harvesters almost daily now.
I'm not surprised Walt. I'm sure you will hear them most days for the next ten days/two weeks and through this weekend.
