To sum up the situation as of today. We are planning on harvesting on Monday, starting with a young parcel of La Fleur-Pétrus planted on deep gravels and therefore faster maturing. On Tuesday, we plan on picking the first parcel of Providence. We walked through it this morning and it was almost ready, so with the extremely sunny weekend we will no doubt have, it will probably gain the last bit of maturity needed. But these are only projections of course. I will keep you posted on the evolution throughout the week. Weather-wise, we have been very lucky so far, with a warm summer since mid-June, and just enough rain to keep the vines healthy. We are optimistic, but as we say in French, lets not put the plough before the ox!
