Question: Liked your helpful 2024 frost update on May 1 but didn’t Chablis also suffer vine damage from cold weather in early May 2004?
Answer: Yes very astute follow-up by you on our Ask Sid Wednesday feature. When I posted on May 1, Chablis had been suffering cold temperatures but had avoided serious frost damage. However, the next 24 hours brought historic late major hail storms that severely impacted the region. Check out the report of May 6, 2004 in Wine Spectator here. Another unlucky shorter 2024 crop is in the works for these increasingly popular most unique wines. Make sure you buy some remaining 2020 vintage and avoid even likely further price increases on subsequent years.
