Harvest in Champagne

Continuing our look into the harvest.... Champagne is one of the earliest regions in France to harvest and it is in full swing right now.  Here is a link to a video about how they harvest -- including hand picking every grape in the entire appellation.  Low bandwidth. High bandwidth.
As Champagne regulations require pressing to happen very quickly after picking, this video about their unique presses and requirements seems appropriate as well.  Low bandwidthHigh bandwidth.
These are all short 1 to 1.5 minute Quicktime movies.

  • NoBullGrape is a straightforward discussion about the wine world designed to identify, explore and share great winegrowing locations that are integral to making wine unique. Over hundreds of years, noble grape varieties have proven that they make great wine. Yet, all grape varieties -- both noble and lesser known -- only prosper in certain places. In fact, the air, weather, soil, etc. of those locations have a direct impact on making wines unique. This discussion is commited to these great (and sometimes yet to be discovered) places and the people whose wine brings these places to life.
