Be careful in Pauillac, Jim, and take care of your lady too : the harvesting machine is attacking ”la grande parcelle” de Latour as of tomorrow. Danger ! In Mouton, they’re going to wait for another couple of days. They want the extra-ripeness in order to pick at 11° ... for the elegance!
Luc. Many thanks for the warning. We are taking due precautions while in Pauillac. Fortunately the water here is drinkable in moderation.
Look out for a world exclusive on Les 5 du Vin this coming Tuesday.
