“Drowning” in Chardonnay

So, I am just finishing my third day in the Champagne.

But what exactly happened?

Well, let’s begin at the beginning: Two days ago I arrived at Avize, met all the people and sneaked around. This is such a beautiful landscape here!

Yesterday we already started to harvest Chardonnay! What? Chardonnay?  – Don’t you say! This region (Côte des Blancs) literally floats in Chardonnay! There is no other variety growing here! That is the reason why the harvest just has a duration of 10-15 days.

Today I worked at the place where I will serve my internship the next four weeks: Champagne Vve Founy et Fils. picsart_09-21-09-27-22

They are all very nice and cool here! 

Harvest 2016, here I come!

(happy me!)

My first Harvest!

In 6 days I will head to France, the Champagne exactly!

I’m so excited! This is my first harvest! My start!

I will stay there for four weeks and make Champagne. The place where I stay is a school for winemakers and I’m very happy that I found that school because I don’t really have a clue about harvesting grapes and I am sure that they will show me the ropes!

I will report on my experiences when I have arrived!
