Billet paysan #39 | Vendanges 2024 | Vermentino !

Peasant note #39 | Harvest 2024 | Vermentino!

🍍 The most exotic of the bunches were picked before dawn...
💪 At 4am this morning, #benjamin and his blue steed arrived to bring in the only grape variety of the #Perséis vintage !
 
Vermentino… Italian grape variety, also very present in Corsica…
Here they would like to force us to call him Rolle… especially with our accent:
RoOLLeuh digs!
 
💙 A grape variety ultra suited to the #Perséis vintage , vinified with love for the daughter of the Ocean:
Harvested early it will be very lively citrus 🍋
Harvested “late” it will be more exotic passion 🥭
 
😜 In 2023 I was looking to be right in the middle, I already had the aromas of the late and luckily the acidity of the early.
This year, I will not be fooled by the young lady, even if it is too early!
💥 We seem to be starting on 12⁰... perfect!
 
Anyway, I'll keep you posted... in the meantime, we'll leave all that to cool for 3-4 days while we wait for the rest to ripen in the sometimes burning breath of this early #September .
