About 1981
Yield
In 1981, the average yield per hectare showed a very low average of 4353 KG/HA. This is the third time after 1978 and 1980, which causes a serious shortage in production.
Flowering
The output of the bunches is low following the very bad climatic conditions of the summer of 1980. Spring frosts destroy between 20 and 25% of the production. A very strong coulure as well as a significant millerandage lead to bunches of a very low average weight, around 60 grams only.
Harvest
The harvest is sad because of the lack of harvest. The harvested grapes nevertheless remain healthy on the whole. The quality of this small crop is above average. Chardonnay is distinguished by the finesse and length of its aromatic constituents. Blacks from unfrozen areas have remarkable power on the palate.
