After the prolonged heat wave this summer the 2014 sugar levels were high. No need to chaptalise. But production was small. Quality superb

Helen and I are now back in London servicing our UK market. Hired workers are pruning the vines - a skilled job if done properly.

The bottling is done on the premises. Tweets on this in 2 plus months.

[Maison des Bulliats @MaisonBulliats]

The wine will be at least 2 months in the tanks, at least 2 weeks in the bottle before labeling and boxing for sale.

[Maison des Bulliats @MaisonBulliats]

About two weeks post-harvest, tasting the 'finished wine' with Sylvain Dory, the wine maker, who says best year yet.

[Maison des Bulliats @MaisonBulliats]

'Malolactic fermentation' (conversion of malic acid to lactic acid) finishes the wine making process. Malic tastes bitter, lactic buttery.

[Maison des Bulliats @MaisonBulliats]

Lids are put on the full tanks and sealed with mastic. Fermentation continues until all the sugar turns to alcohol.

The dumping place for the solid waste which is collected and used to make 'marc' (an eau de vie) and cosmetics.

[Maison des Bulliats @MaisonBulliats]

The solid remains of the pressing process are trailed away to a municipal dumping place.

Gilbert then washes the empty tank.
