The 2021 Frost Could Impact Harvest, Distribution and What You Pay for French Wine

When frosts arrived in French vineyards the week of April 5, initial reports suggested the entire 2021 vintage would be destroyed. Fortunately, it’s not as bad as that.

Between the frost and a hard place

Climate change is planting Syrah in the Loire and -8°C frost in April in the Roussillon. It’s harvest one week earlier than last year – every year – and picking grapes at dawn. It’s summers so hot the vines shut down, and winters so mild that parasites stay alive and the vines can’t rest.

The Fatal Spring 2021 Frost In France

“C’est reparti (Here we go again),” posted Véronique Drouhin-Boss on Instagram April 5 Her image, of a hazy night sky punctuated by hundreds of smudge pots flickering amidst frozen vineyards, foretold the unfolding guerre de gel (war on frost) in early April between Mother Nature and French vignerons. Estimated vine losses range from 50% to 100%, with final assessments still weeks away. Here, regional winegrowers share their impressions from the trenches.

€40,000 raised for a 100% Parisian wine

After a crowdfunding operation was launched a month ago, by 18 May, 300 contributors had provided €40,000 in funding for the project led by father-son duo, Fady and Antoine Sfeir. They created their company Pif à Papa in 2020, in a bid to purchase about ten hectares of hillside land in Seine et Marne, which was once planted to vines and then abandoned.

The Breton wine industry becomes more structured and professional

The triskelion is a Celtic symbol with a strong identity in Brittany and it has been used as the basis for the new logo to mark the restructuring of the Association for the Recognition of Breton Wines (ARVcool smiley. “Our new logo aims to reflect the development of our association through the new identification”, claims Rémy Ferrand, the association's general secretary since October 2020. It also mirrors the re-drafted statutes of the association, which was founded in 2005 to help owners of heirloom vines.

Wrap your vines in a fleece to protect them against the frost!

Wrap your vines in a fleece to protect them against the frost!

For the second consecutive year, two estates in Anjou-Saumur took part in a trial monitored by the national institute for origin and quality INAO, to confirm the benefits of protecting vines against frost using a winter cover (P 30 type). In 2020, neither of the two winegrowers suffered any damage. But in 2021, they had plenty of opportunities to test the solution as temperatures dropped below freezing on a dozen occasions over a four-week period.

Four disease-resistant grape varieties find fast track to French AOC recognition

Four disease-resistant grape varieties find fast track to French AOC recognition

Developed by the French National Research Institute for Agriculture and the Environment (INRAE), the first four French vine varieties resistant to fungal diseases have been affiliated to the Vitis vinifera L. botanical taxon by the Community Plant Variety Office (CPVO). Now officially related to traditional European varieties, the new cultivars – Artaban, Floreal, Vidoc and Voltis – could find their way into appellation vineyards, a move that was previously unthinkable. Community regulations only recognise grape varieties of the European species Vitis vinifera L. for the production of appellation wines, whereas grape varieties with resistance to downy and powdery mildew stem from crosses between Vitis vinifera L. and other Vitis species (American and/or Asian, which carry the resistance genes).

Vins de France looks to cocktails to promote awareness

Just as pavement bars and cafés once again welcome patrons across France, the national Vin De France wine marketing board (Anivin De France) has no intention of leaving the field free for beers, spritzes and the like. The VDF Cocktails concept took shape during the different lockdowns, and is now ready to go this summer with recipes revisiting the Moscow Mule (ginger beer, lemon juice and vodka) and Gin Fizz (sparkling water, gin, syrup and lemon juice). Enter the Chardo Mule – a registered trademark, where the vodka is replaced by Chardonnay – and Sauv'Fizz, made from Sauvignon blanc instead of gin, with cucumber syrup.

Clos Montmartre – A hidden vineyard in Paris

Clos Montmartre – A hidden vineyard in Paris

Closed to the public up until June 2021, the Clos Montmartre is one of five remaining vineyards in central Paris. The presence of vines in Montmartre dates back to the 10th century. By the Middle Ages Paris had, in fact, become one of the biggest wine-growing regions in Europe. The history of the Clos itself is, however, a little bit more recent. The plot of land that it sits on today was acquired by the Ville de Paris in 1933, following strong pressure from the locals, in order to preserve the area from further real estate development. In the meantime, urbanisation and diseases affecting grapes had destroyed most of the capital’s vineyards.

French vineyards become trophy buys

If you have watched the television program Escape to the Chateau you may, like me, have been tempted to put your house on the market and trade up to a magnificent chateau in a desirable corner of France. The TV show reveals that behind the grand façade often lies a crumbling structure that partly explains why the property appears to be a bargain.

Communists Rush to Defend French Wine

There's a Cold War nip in the air as France prepares for presidential elections this year.

It's back to the future for our news round-up this week, as our interest is piqued by some blasts from the past – including a communist party leader making the news, which is as quaint a throwback as we've seen for some time.

Elsewhere, it's very much a familar set of stories, with plant disease, pests, stolen goods and Covid all making their presence felt.

A Piece Of History

Old wines are like cocaine: I’ve only ever enjoyed someone else’s. I’ve never bought my own. Noblesse oblige and all that. It’s not that I’m not grateful – or appreciative. I very much am. Twenty years in the wine trade, doing everything from keeping tabs on auction sales, to helping vacuous Bon Chic Bon Genre types in the Marais select another cut-price Bergerac, lends one an appreciation for old wines in all their forms.

French nurseries see all-time low in grafting recovery rates

The 2022 vintage is already taking a turn for the worse across France’s vine nurseries. “Average grafting recovery rates are at an all-time low, and every region is affected”, warns the French Federation of Vine Nurseries (FFPV). Usually standing at between 60 and 65%, they have plummeted to 30% in Alsace and Champagne, “which have also had to cope with onsets of mildew caused by heavy rainfall”; 40% in Bordeaux, Cognac and Occitania; and 48% in vineyards in the Centre-East of the country.
