The 2011 harvest (as 2010) was challenging in very different ways. On the weather front, summer arrived during the spring, upsetting the vine's cycle. In March, the buds began to burst as we attached the vines to their wires. Fine weather kept disease at bay so we stopped all spraying in the month of July. We then imagined waiting peacefully whilst the grapes matured for an early harvest as in 2003. And then, mid-July a drastic turn about! Cold and rain set in until mid-August. Daily surveillance limited grape loss. The Côte de Beaune suffered less from the bad weather than the Côte de Nuits which received more rain. At last the fine weather returned and harvest was scheduled: the whites began on the 30th of August with Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and Meursault, finishing with Fixin and Saint- Aubin on the 6th of September. The reds began on the 1st of September with Chorey-lès-Beaune, finishing on the 9th with Latricières-Chambertin. The whites begin with strong potential, whereas the reds require extra surveillance until bottling.
