The official opening dates of the harvest, village by village, will be known on Saturday, August 26.It is important to remember that there are easy-to-use devices when pre-date collection is required.
If the grapes extracted from a plot reach the degree of alcoholic potential before the official date of opening of the harvest in a village, an early harvest declaration for advanced maturity is sufficient, which will be sent to Inao.
If the plot presents a risk (illness, rot, etc.), a degraded health status repeal is possible.
A gray rot alert (botrytis) was indicated by the Matu del network?Champagne Wine Association, especially for the areas of the Cote des Bar, West Reims Mountain and Marne Valley right bank.
Forms (early harvest declaration for advanced maturity and degraded health state exemption) are available on the SGV extranet website.
