The fall in output was currently expected at between 10% and 20% in the region but with a higher quality, said Volle, who represents Ardeche winemakers. Volle, 49, which uses machines to harvest his grapes, said he had started at 3:00 am. Overnight harvesting also allows to keep grapes cooler, meaning using less energy and avoiding hurting the harvest and aromas, he said. Jerome Despey, a wine producer of Languedoc wine in southern France and first vice-president of France's largest farm union FNSEA, told Reuters that the damage caused by the hot weather will lead to lower wine output this year in the south of the country overall.

Bottles of Champagne are seen on display for sale in a wine shop in Paris, France, December 20, 2022. REUTERS/Sarah Meyssonnier/File PhotoPARIS, Aug 8 (Reuters) - French wine production in 2023 is expected to be near the average of the last five years, with a favourable outlook in Champagne and Burgundy contrasting that in disease-hit Bordeaux, the French farm ministry said. Overall wine output is projected to be between 44 million and 47 million hectolitres, a range that encompasses both the five-year average of 44.5 million hectolitres and 2022 output of 46.1 million hectolitres, the ministry said in a report on Tuesday. The wine sector wants the government to expand funding for a distillation scheme so 3 million hectolitres of wine stocks can be cleared, mainly in Bordeaux and Languedoc-Roussillon in the far south, Despey said. Output was seen surpassing the five-year average in Champagne, where frost and hail caused limited damage this year, and also in Burgundy, despite some mildew cases, the ministry added.

"Catastrofal", "dramatic", îngheţul care a acoperit o mare parte din teritoriul Franţei în ultimele zile se anunţă a fi una dintre cele mai grave catastrofe care a lovit agricultura franceză în ultimele decenii, numeroase culturi de la viţă de vie, pomi fructiferi şi până la cereale fiind lovite, din nordul şi până în sudul ţării, transmite agerpres.ro. "Se sparge precum sticla pentru că nu are apă, este complet uscată", explică preşedintele sindicatului viticol din Graves. Valoarea pierderilor nu a fost încă stabilită, profesioniştii apreciind că va mai dura câteva zile, însă primele constatări evocă un fenomen de amploare. Îngheţul a lovit culturi, precum vie şi arbori fructiferi, pentru care faza de înflorire începuse graţie temperaturilor ridicate din perioada precedentă. Din 800.000 de hectare din Franţa doar 200.000 sunt asigurate", a estimat Jerome Despey, secretarul general al sindicatului fermierilor FNSEA.
