Budbreak is here at our domaine in the north east of Terrasses du Larzac! This is the top bud on long - pruned Grenache noir (we will go back later to prune these off and leave the two basal, and less developed/more frost tolerant buds). One of Terre des 2 Sources premium Terrasses du Larzac blocks.

Fourth day in a row with high temperatures of 44 degrees C or more. It's also very dry, so it's a bit like being in a blast furnace with wind...

All plants with shallow root systems are suffering now. Hopefully a return to maximum temperatures below 30 starting on Sunday. The last significant rain was June 30th with 18 mm.

Summer in the south of France!
