The 2026 Harvest
The first snips of the pruning shears are finally underway ! And what a date it is ! nothing short of unprecedented, and even historic! We got started on August 12th, harvesting the Chardonnay grapes for Crémant d’Alsace.
After the intense heat of the past few weeks and the very little rain we’ve had over the past several months, the grapes are quite small, which has us concerned about a potentially lower yield. On the bright side, the grapes are in excellent sanitary condition and are already wonderfully flavorful!
