Harvest 2025

 

The Le Lude Harvest 2025 has been a standout season, with exceptional results from our vineyards. This year, the grapes were in perfect condition—healthy, vibrant, and free from disease. The harvest was about 10 days later than last year, thanks to a longer cold period that delayed the ripening process. In fact, we even saw snow on the mountain in early November, which was a rare but welcome sight, adding to the anticipation for this unique vintage.

With the vines protected by a strong canopy, the grapes developed evenly, shielded from the intense summer sun, which has contributed to a very healthy crop.

This year, we saw an increase in harvest yield by at least 20%, thanks to the favourable growing conditions. The larger crop, coupled with healthy vines, sets us up for an abundant and high-quality vintage. We’re excited about what this harvest will bring and are confident it will result in wines of exceptional quality.

As we wrap up the harvest, the prospects for Le Lude Harvest 2025 look bright. We can’t wait to see how this vintage evolves and share the results with our supporters. Cheers to a fantastic harvest and an exciting year ahead!
