year 2012 : in the vines
The harvest began Tuesday, September 11 and we picked the last grapes yesterday. 
Compared to last year, the period was divided by two, as the harvest. 
The general health is healthy levels are good but the grains are very small: it is the result of the severe frosts of last winter but due also to the weather during the bloom.

The growth cycle of the 2009 harvest
Pictures from the 20th of August 2009
20.08.2009: After 3 weeks without rain, in one week the harvest will begin : the d day  is set for August 27. If the weather stays mild, the vintage will be good.
The samples show a sufficient quantity, without excess, a good balance and a high degree natural.
The few photos below you will see the beauty of the grape.

23.07.09: the beginning of "veraison"
some first grains takes a pink colour ...
After three weeks of good weather, you see the first grapes gradually change color. Of course, we have to wait one month before harvest and the transformation  is still very shy but it is the beginning of veraison.
With the photos below you can see it...

the colour change

06.07.2009 : Since the flowering of the vines, we have an ideal time for the maturation. Of course, like every year we have some storms but the weather is warm without being too wet. the wet passages are followed by dry weather, which helps prevent the development of rot and vine diseases. The treatments are also more limited this year.

30.05.2009: the vine is in bloom. Since last week, the vine has flowered. Last year, the flower came around the June 18th and the flower comes with more than 2 weeks in advance. It is an ideal weather during the flowering - with the exception of a cold passage last week - and we'll probably get one harvest more homogeneous than last year. The flowering period is always important for the future harvest. We should harvest between end of August and early September.

After a cold winter, and especially that lasted over time than other year. For example, the gel was permanently installed in mid-December until mid-March. Since then, little by little, time is more lenient; these last days, it looks like to summer. 
This week the vine begin to change, ie that we have seen the first leaves. If everything goes normally, the flower of the vine should be in late May / early June, but we will talk in time.

MAISON Jean BARONNAT  
Incontestablement au sommet. Ici, on a pour devise «  Le respect du vin ». J’aime bien Jean-Jacques Baronnat qui dirige cette maison familiale de négoce, créée il y a plus de 100 ans par son grand-père, alors producteur en Beaujolais.
Remarquable Moulin à Vent 2006, de très jolie couleur grenat, charnu, au nez de fruits surmûris (framboise, cassis) et d’humus, très classique, un vin qui associe couleur et matière, d’excellente garde.
Le Fleurie 2006 est complexe et harmonieux, avec ces nuances se définissant par des arômes de framboise, de fraise des bois, un vin de couleur profonde. Excellent Brouilly 2006, corsé, un vin qui sent bon les fruits rouges mûrs et les sous-bois, de bouche savoureuse.
Goûtez aussi le Saint-Véran 2006, de belle robe pâle, avec cette touche d’acidité alliée à une rondeur agréable, où s’entremêlent des notes d’amande, de fruits mûrs et de bruyère, et le Mâcon-Villages blanc 2006, souple, tout en arômes, au nez complexe et puissant (acacia, poire), très bien équilibré, de bouche parfumée et ample.
Beau Morgon 2005, au nez de mûre et de fumé, aux tanins présents, un vin qui poursuit une très belle évolution.
Le Crémant de Bourgogne est tout en arômes, au nez intense et complexe (fleurs fraîches et musc), de mousse crémeuse.
Aucune hésitation, bien entendu.
Côte de Brouilly
 
Cette affaire familiale créée au début du siècle dernier est dirigée depuis 1985 par Jean-Jacques Baronnat, petit-fils du fondateur. La sélection 2006 d’un grenat assez intense s’ouvre sur des parfums de petits fruits rouges (cerise). Ces derniers accompagnent une bouche fraîche et équilibrée aux tanins qui s’arrondissent. On pourra déguster ce vin dès maintenant ou bien l’attendre encore un à deux ans.

This year: rain and low temperatures...
Since the early spring and, with the exception of the second half of March, temperatures were very low for the season. Maturation of the grapes is laborious.
Now, we are realizing some damage caused by heavy winter frosts: though in most cases the vines has not been destroyed by frost, it nevertheless suffered three weeks of severe frost of February. One obtains  grapes of all sizes, some with tiny grains.

The specialized review Gilbert et Gaillard
Beaujolais wine: to erase the crisis and to emphasize the vintages
 
"Take Régnié for example, a vintage born in 1988. Who knows this name today?  questions Jean-Jacques Baronnat, directing house of  Baronnat company. Before adding: If the Beaujolais wine were a bad product, we  would not sell all over the world. However, of names seem less to suffer that others, like Brouilly, Moulin à Vent, Fleurie, Morgon or saint amour."
