2009 vintage@Château de Chasseloir, Chéreau Carré

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!
