Summer

The vineyards had a very hard time. Some of the vines have bunches burned by the sun and heat, especially those exposed to the west. The few periods of rain these past days gave some relief, but the amount of rain was not sufficient to damp the soil under the foliage, so it remains to be seen...

The Futures campaign is coming to an end with the latest acquisitions, sold at market prices. Transactions are confined to the 5 or 6 icons, and given the price of each bottle; it ends up being some serious money.

The town of Saint Emilion is buzzing with people due to the overcast weather and wine shops are quite busy, which is great for our 3 stores.
