A beautiful bunch of Chenin Blanc still hanging on the vine at Chateau de Fesles in the heart of the Bonnezeaux appellation taken on Saturday.
A perfect illustration of why growers making sweet wines pass through the vineyards on numerous occasions just selecting the grapes that have been affected by noble rot (botrytis).
You can see clearly on the bunch the area that has been affected while other grapes on the same bunch are at a different stage of maturity.
The ability of Chenin Blanc to produce wines all of styles is down to this.
