Bud break on the Chardonnay block this morning. Two days ahead of last year. Cold night forecast Saturday — we'll light the candles if the frost lands on the lower slope.

Winemaker
A working estate in Burgundy, France — Pinot Noir on the upper slope, Chardonnay below, on limestone-and-marl soils farmed without acidification or new oak excess. The winemaker's name is shared with the Crew on enrollment; until then the platform stands behind the data, the track record, and the samples.
The history.
These four hectares were planted in 1962 — Pinot Noir on the upper slope, Chardonnay on the lower. The cellar was rebuilt in 1995 with a gravity-flow system. Same four hectares. Same gravity.
What this vintage is showing so far.
“Bud break came four days earlier than last year. The canopy is dense — I'm watching for mildew pressure after the rain last week. Flowering is clean so far. I'm optimistic but not relaxed.”
— the winemaker, updated this month
Philosophy.
I make the wine the vintage wants to be. Minimal new oak, native yeast, no acidification. I trust the fruit and I trust the place. My job is not to get in the way.

Pruning finished. Four full weeks, six of us, 48,000 cuts. The old vines on parcelle three are going into their 64th season and they still look sharp.

First Crew welcome letter went out today. 34 of you so far. I read every note you sent back. Two from Singapore, one from Reykjavik — that's new for this estate.
