Prieuré de la Chaume begins manual red grape harvest

Manual grape harvesting for red varieties began on September 4 at Prieuré de la Chaume in Vendée. The start date is considered consistent with previous years, following a typical seasonal rhythm for the estate.

Vignerons are currently managing logistical challenges, including coordinating teams and equipment while monitoring weather forecasts. Predicted rain poses a risk to the harvest schedule, as weather conditions can force rapid decision-making regarding the order of plot harvesting and the timing of the grape sorting process.
