It's getting hotter and hotter for our fine wines too.

Heatwave affecting the vineyards

The consequences of climat about our wines?

It's summer and most of our wine regions are going through a sunny season … getting hotter and hotter year after year, according to the Ministry of the Environment.
Climate change is causing widespread concern, even in the vineyards, as recent studies – or various reports – indicate that the entire traditional vineyard will be affected within 50 years!

Concern for our appellations prestigious and ancestral!

Imagine the Medoc without Cabernet Sauvignon or the Burgundy Without Pinot Noir???

The beginning of the catastrophic scenario depicts a sharp increase in alcohol content, which sometimes tends to be underestimated. The tastes of the wines would then begin to change, becoming sweeter: the riper grapes would lose acidity and, ultimately, the soils would no longer be suitable for growing their historical grape variety…sic!

THE The new wine world reacts

Australia is planting further south in Tasmania in search of cooler temperatures. Napa Valley, noting that the nights are less cool than before, he wonders about the adaptation of other grape varieties.
In France, where we are used to considering things of the earth as immutable, we cannot imagine that the kingdom of Pinot Noir or Chardonnay could one day be found in Belgium.

Lovers of fine wines, rest assured, the wine cellar you are building today for your children still bears witness to the great balance between acidity, alcohol and maturity…But for how much longer?
