Harvest is one of the primordial rituals that punctuate life on the vineyard and shape the unique profile of each vintage. It is a time when the vineyard comes to life, buzzing with the same excitement, the same passion and the same enthusiasm from one year to the next. Neither the very early mornings nor any inclement weather can dampen the fervor that spurs each grape-picker to take part in this very special and decisive moment in the winegrowing cycle at Cos d’Estournel.
