Since we started harvesting our youngest Syrah vines at L'Ostal Cazes (our Languedoc property) on September 17th, the weather has been favorable in Minervois.

I may have seen the writing on the wall on Monday night for prices for collectible, blue chip wines. But I don’t think you have to be clairvoyant to know what is coming.
