Verkar bli en väldigt liten skörd i år i bourgogne efter tuff frost den här veckan. Thibault Liger-Belair berättade att 75% av hans knoppar var förstörda. Verkar vara stora problem i Piemonte också. Det återstår att se om det blir som 2016 där röda ändå blir bra eller inte, Vincent Dauvissat upplevde i varje fall att frosten var värre i år än 2016.

Three nights/mornings in a row here in the Cote d'Or
Localised light damage likely from the first night
Much worse on the second night (early morning of 7th). Not colder, just a couple of degrees below freezing (in centigrade) but the conditions were in perfect storm territory. The cold is much more damaging when you have humidity and there were snow showers the previous evening. Then the clouds left leaving a clear sky, with early morning sun to burn the damaged shoots, and no wind to keep the air moving.
I went down to Corton-Charlemagne at around 4.30 in the morning, then across to Meursault where I stayed through to 7.30 - and it was clearly colder after dawn rather than before.
What was clear was that the smudgepots were only really being effective to the four closest vines, whereas they are spread out much more widely than that. Conversations with several producers who said that they are not equipped to cover all their vineyards so had to make choices.
Plenty of small wind turbines in evidence which may have helped, but there is clearly going to be some damage and maybe a lot.
This morning was the last day of the north wind - and temperatures at our house which is outside the vineyard area were the lowest of the three nights (minus 4.5C = 24F I think) but without the humidity of the previous day. I dont yet know how it played out in the vines
Chablis has better protection, more different types including thermal cabling in key vineyards, as the region has had a much longer term history of frost risk.
