☆ In the French Countryside, a Deep Discontent Takes Root
  + stars: | 2024-07-06 | by ( Roger Cohen | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Last month, Sophie-Laurence Roy, a conservative Paris lawyer with roots in Burgundy, decided to cross the political dividing line that defined postwar France and dedicate herself to a nationalist, far-right political movement that seems poised to dominate parliamentary elections on Sunday. “I realized I would reproach myself for the rest of my life if I did not offer my services to the great movement of change that is the National Rally,” she said as she ate a sausage of pork intestines in a cafe in Chablis, the northern Burgundy town known for its fine white wine. “It was now or never.”So, on June 9, Ms. Roy, 68, deserted her longtime center-right political family, the Republicans, who trace their beliefs to the wartime hero Charles de Gaulle, to support Marine Le Pen’s far-right party whose quasi-fascist roots lie with the collaborationist Vichy regime against which De Gaulle fought to liberate France.

☆ ‘Ping pong-sized’ hailstones ravage famous French wine region
  + stars: | 2024-05-02 | by ( Julen Chavin | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
CNN —A violent hailstorm wreaked havoc on vineyards in Chablis in the famous French wine region of Burgundy Wednesday evening, delivering another weather blow to already hard-hit local Chardonnay winemakers. The extent of the damage was still unclear as winegrowers checked over their plots on Thursday, a representative for the Burgundy wine association told CNN. “We’ve never seen anything like this, it’s dramatic,” Julie Fèvre, a winemaker, told BFM. Some 38 million bottles of Chablis Chardonnay wine are sold every year, generating an estimated $340 million turnover, according to the Burgundy wine association. Around 67% of Chablis wine is exported to foreign markets, the association said.

THE WORLD IN A WINEGLASS: The Insider’s Guide to Artisanal, Sustainable, Extraordinary Wines to Drink Now, by Ray IsleWinery owners appear to lead charmed lives. So, too, do wine writers and critics, if their small talk and Instagram feeds can be believed. A lot of chateaus, grand vistas, infinity pools, delicate stemware and candlelit dinners in private rooms seem to be involved. Robert M. Parker Jr. changed wine criticism and wine sales in the 1980s by circumventing language altogether. Early in Ray Isle’s elephantine, hernia-inducing new guidebook, “The World in a Wineglass: The Insider’s Guide to Artisanal, Sustainable, Extraordinary Wines to Drink Now,” the author pauses to complain about the fruit-dependent tasting notes wine writers employ.

☆ Emma Watson’s ‘levitating’ dress is confusing the internet

CNN —Did someone say Wingardium Leviosa? “Harry Potter” fans are asking whether Emma Watson’s new dress may be the result of some Hogwarts wizardry. The star, who played Hermione Granger in the blockbuster movies, posted a picture of herself wearing the gravity-defying sky-blue gown on Instagram on Monday. The dress is not ‘hanging from her ears’ or ‘Photoshopped’, the dress is designed to have ‘bones’, it’s just couture. Renais is our love letter to Chablis; is carbon-neutral, lovingly made from upcycled grapes.

☆ At Chile wine gala, climate change and water use in focus
  + stars: | 2022-11-07 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
SANTIAGO, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Chile's vintners are increasingly thinking about how to adapt to shifts in climate and drier weather that has seen the Andean country gripped by drought for over a decade. "It's something that worries all of us vineyards," said Magdalena Villasante from Vina Undurraga, which won the event's top award for its Syrah Carignan Grenache blend. Chile is the world's fourth-largest wine exporter, but dry weather has pushed vineyards to shift. Land for wine growing dropped some 4% in the five years until 2020, with the central Santiago Metropolitan Region, the country's third-largest wine producing region, seeing a decline of nearly 14%, official data show. "We'll probably see more wines from Aysen and Magallanes (in Chile's deep south) in the future what with climate change," Rojas told Reuters.
☆ (foto) Vinificatorii francezi au luminat câmpurile pentru a salva vița-de-vie de la îngheț
  + stars: | 2021-04-08 | by ( Onixmedia Srl | ) diez.md   time to read: 1 min
Vinificatorii francezi au aprins lumânări și au ars baloturi de fân pentru a încerca să-și protejeze podgoriile de înghețurile din ultimele două zile. Temperaturile au scăzut până la -5 grade Celsius peste noapte în regiunile viticole, inclusiv Chablis, în Burgundia și Bordeaux, iar viticultorii sunt îngrijorați că temperaturile joase ar putea răni lăstarii deja bine dezvoltați. Unii producători au instalat lumânări uriașe, iar alții, baloturi de paie puși în butoaie. O lumânare costă nouă euro, iar pentru un hectar este nevoie de 400 de lumânări. Astfel, cheltuielile s-ar ridica la aproape patru mii de euro doar pentru un hectar, menționează Reuters.
