In this video we see the crates of Chardonnay grapes being transferred from the vines to a temporary "hub", before being loaded in a next step on to palettes for further transport to the pressoir.
Notice how muddy the path is, not an easy task transferring, even with the proper equipment, a crate of grapes weighing 50 Kg!
Hard work, so we'll be able to benefit in a few years time from a lovely 2011-based Blanc de Blancs from Champagne Henriet-Bazin...perhaps, even a vintage?
Only time will tell...
