More champagne this year

Despite the morose weather it seems that predictions for the vendange vary enormously from area to area. We had contradictory reports from Fronton and Montauban last week and this morning Telematin reported that the Champagne recolte would be up about 20% (though no reduction in price forecast). Bordeaux may be good, but Languedoc and especially Burgundy were badly hit by storms and may be well down, especially some of the top-end Burgundy wines.
