2009 Burgundy - shaping up nicely!

Looks like 2009 is en route to be another great vintage like 99, 89, 79, 69, 59 before it…

After a quite cold winter, spring brought warmer temperatures than usual and this from March to May. Followed by some normal rain and a cooler weather but quite in accordance with normal end of spring temperatures. There was an early flower which means an early Sept harvest (Sept 5th). There are no unexpected disease activity, on the contrary it seems that there’s lower disease activity than normal. August has been sunny so far, holding into 80’s and nights have been cool around 50’s. If the weather holds we’ll be having another vintage of the century .

Please don’t jinx it.

Just what I need, the third vintage of the century so far this decade!!

So many variables as of now…It’s impossible to tell as of now.
