The new age of French wine: How winemakers are addressing climate change and sustainability. climatechange sustainablewine
At the end of the 19th century, more than 50% of French vineyards disappeared. This tragedy was caused by an insect called phylloxera that ate the roots of grapevines, leaving grapes incapable of reaching maturity, and eventually, causing death.
More than a hundred years later, nature and human activity are challenging winemaking once again. But this time, producers want to be ready for it.Nowadays, what winemakers fear most isn’t an insect but a new form of disruptive weather conditions. Rainfall has become irregular. Periods of flooding are followed by periods of drought. The climate crisis is affecting agriculture across the globe, and French vineyards are no exception.
As the impacts of climate change increase, winemakers in France and elsewhere are trying to understand how these changes will affect winemaking in the future and are learning how to adapt. Unlike what happened in the 19th century, producers do not want to be taken by surprise. They want to be ready. They want to keep making excellent wine despite the less-than-favorable climatic conditions.
