Mildew, which is caused by fungal pathogens, thrives in conditions of high humidity and rainfall, to which Bordeaux is particularly susceptible due to its temperate maritime climate. From March to June 2023, when the vines are in their vulnerable vegetation phase, there was continuous rainfall in Bordeaux. Although this humidity is generally beneficial, it also created a favorable environment for the development of mildew. The warm temperatures from May to June exacerbated the problem as they accelerated fungal growth. In 2023, the high threat of mildew made vineyard protection management in Bordeaux much more complex. In some areas, mildew destroyed a large part of the harvest.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3be970a elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"3be970a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ad67f50 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ad67f50\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Vineyard protection in organic winemaking<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-60a5660 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"60a5660\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-7772de4\" data-id=\"7772de4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-acc0557 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"acc0557\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In this situation, organic vineyards such as Le Pin Beausoleil face additional challenges, as chemical interventions are not permitted.

May and June brought warm, sunny days for the vines to thrive, while occasional rainfall kept the soil moist. In July and August, there was a mixture of warm, dry periods and short rain showers, which helped to maintain the balance between sugar ripeness and acidity of the grapes. The absence of extreme heat waves prevented sunburn damage to the grapes and preserved their quality. In September, the winegrowers are now eagerly awaiting the harvest.
