This afternoon we brought in the last of the Cabernet Sauvignon (with Pavie above, just now) under a clear autumn sky. The same is true for many across Bordeaux as pickers and harvest machines were still out there, mostly bringing in the later ripening Cabernets too. Rain is forecast from tomorrow, giving us all a gentle nudge.
So that’s the harvest in. The work though is far from done, and we need to make sure that in the winery we’re not at home to Master Cockup.

We’ll cover what’s been happening in more detail in the Médoc, Saint-Emilion and beyond in future missives – worth tuning in for, if only for the photos – but here’s a recap of our September harvest here at Bauduc, with the new, latest images of our red harvest.
