Harvest 7 - Tankers

Most of the year the roads and villages around us are pretty quiet. Even with the summer tourists it is rarely very busy in this beautiful part of Champagne. But during Vendanges it is a very different story! Streets that are sometimes barely wide enough for two cars have to cope with a steady stream of laden tankers, but somehow, with cool heads and a sense of esprit des corps, they calmly overcome any difficulties.

Everywhere you can see tankers full of freshly squeezed grape juice being taken to the wineries, where they will begin the lengthy process of making Champagne.
