Two thousand eight brought a miserable crop in Volnay, and the smallest production in his experience, reported Dominique Lafon, with the hailstorm in late July a major factor. So was dehydration of the fruit in September. The Volnay fruit ripened eventually, but Lafon did not finish picking his reds until early October, getting 13+% grape sugars but losing what he described as one-third of the volume due to loss of water in the grapes. Lafon cut way back on pigeage for fear of getting green tannins because of the hail.
