and early summer of 2024 were characterized by unusually heavy rainfall, making it one of the wettest seasons since 2008. <\/span><span class=\"--l --r sentence_highlight\">In the last three years and also in 2024, this excessive moisture has led to various problems in the vineyards:<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"--l --r sentence_highlight\">Outbreaks of powdery mildew: <\/span><span class=\"--l --r sentence_highlight\">The persistent rain has created ideal conditions for downy mildew, a fungal disease that thrives in humid environments. <\/span><span class=\"--l --r sentence_highlight\">This problem has been recurring in Bordeaux and powdery mildew has spread rapidly through the vineyards. <\/span><span class=\"--l --r sentence_highlight\">The disease attacks the leaves and grapes and can lead to significant crop losses if not effectively controlled.<br \/><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"--l --r sentence_highlight\">Waterlogged soils: <\/span><span class=\"--l --r sentence_highlight\">The saturated soils make it difficult for tractors and other heavy equipment to work in the vineyard and therefore to treat and care for the vines. <\/span><span class=\"--l --r sentence_highlight\">This has forced many winegrowers to resort to manual methods, which are labor-intensive and time-consuming.<br \/><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"--l --r sentence_highlight\">Delayed growth: <\/span><span class=\"--l --r sentence_highlight\">The cool and wet conditions have slowed the growth of the vines and delayed the development of the grapes. <\/span><span class=\"--l --r sentence_highlight\">While this could shorten the ripening period, which could affect the overall quality and yield of the harvest, the 2024 vintage could still ripen

vintage.  <span class=\"--l --r sentence_highlight\">This optimism is justified by the fact that we have been able to overcome some of the challenges through increased work and the additional help of Andr\u00e9 Romain, who now works in our vineyards together with Igor Leclere.  <\/span><span class=\"--l --r sentence_highlight\">This doubling of the workforce has made it possible to carry out proactive and careful work in the vineyard and to increase the resistance of the vineyards to mildew compared to 2023.  <span class=\"--l --r sentence_highlight\" style=\"color: var(

--e-global-typography-text-text-transform ); background-color: var( --e-global-color-81e8884 );\">Although the rainy weather posed a major challenge, it also ensured a plentiful supply of water, which is now proving beneficial in the later stages of grape development in the current heat.  <\/span><span class=\"--l --r sentence_highlight\" style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family:
