Résumé vidéo
Généré par IAThe Champagne region is experiencing an unprecedented early harvest, starting around August 15th. This shift is attributed to changing weather patterns and a shortening ripening cycle, which has decreased from 100 days in previous generations to approximately 80 days today. Despite some sun-burned grapes causing minor yield losses, the overall quality of the harvest remains unaffected.
