Maison Lamblin et flis reports:
"If the 2006 vintage was slightly late in bud burst, this has been partially compensated for by a very rapid flowering, aided by the sudden arrival of exceptionally high temperatures in the middle of June. Since flowering, the progressive rise in temperatures has accelerated the rhythm and fruit set was observed in mid July. Thunderstorms at the end of the month have provided some refreshment, but we are still hoping for a more generous watering of the vines which are beginning to suffer slightly. The coming weeks will be decisive for the future development of the vines."
