He discusses how climate change has affected the vintages and discloses how the producers have responded to new conditions. Jasper explains how the changing patterns of airflow and wind has meant that the polar air currents are much weaker and are sliding down, and how there are now fewer southwestern winds, but more north and south, which are both dry. Jasper also talks about the different measures the producers are taking to deal with the new climate conditions, including electric cables which are already used in Chablis, but need large water supplies , mobile wind turbines and smudge pots, though, he adds, some producers are reluctant to use them, as they are petro-chemical based.
He believes that canopy management is crucial, and rootstock needs looking at, as some rootstock is failing. He reports that the picking window has changed and producers need to be ready to go earlier than before. The use of whole bunch and partial bunch fermentation is also discussed. They discuss premature oxidation and Sarah asks if it has gone away. Jasper then talks about how the different vintages are developing for both reds and whites, which vintages to keep and which to drink, plus his favourites.
