French Harvest Begins
The first grapes of the 2008 harvest in France were picked on
14th August in the Southern French region of Roussillon, a week
earlier than last year.
The Conseil Interprofessionel des Vins du Roussillon (CIVR) confirmed
that a Rivesaltes
producer was the first to begin picking white Muscat à Petits Grains grapes for
its Vin de Pays wines.
The French harvest tends to begin shortly after 20 August and continues through September, right into November in some areas. Viniflhor, the national agricultural body, estimates the total 2008 harvest volume will be 45.8m hectolitres, just under the 46.5m hectolitres harvested in 2007.
