Clos Chossay: record Sauvignon Blanc harvest

Suzie Robertson and the Sauvignons

Mark Robertson, owner of the perfectly formed, bijou vineyard - Le Clos Chossay@Epeigné-les-Bois reports a record harvest in 2010.

'Picked the Sauvignon yesterday. A record-breaking 27 litres (31hl/ha if my calculations are right). Healthy grapes with a bit of noble rot, decided to leave these grapes in.

Potential 12.3%.'
