The grape harvest is at its height in Languedoc-Roussillon. Montpellier is the capital of one of the most important wine regions in France (the largest one actually, bigger than the Bordeaux region).
I photographed these grapes last week in Ardèche.

Wow -i love grapes and i love what they are used to make even more.
RépondreSupprimerIn my Western Queensland home we had grape vines and they made port and brandy with them. Seems strange doesn't it in the middle of the Australian bush - grape vines!!!!
J'achète beaucoup de vins du languedoc roussillon, je le préfère à certains bordeaux, devenus maintenant, bien des fois, du "picrate"
RépondreSupprimerThe photo is lovely, and the grapes look tasty. And the wine is probably going to be both lovely and tasty!
RépondreSupprimerBeautiful photo of ripe grapes. I have not seen such vivid blue coloring before. Thanks for the visit too.
RépondreSupprimerHi Marie....I like grape harvest better than almond harvest, the dust is so terrible here now as they "shake" the trees.
RépondreSupprimerMissed you while I was gone.
Don't those grapes look scrumptious! Purple grapes are among my favorite.
RépondreSupprimeret qu'en pense les viticulteurs : bonne ou mauvaise saison ?
RépondreSupprimerOlivier, mon copain Roberto qui est viticulteur dans la région d'Avignon pense que l'année va être excellente.
RépondreSupprimerThank you, Abraham. My photos have not been "reworked." I was afraid they might appear "dull."
Mary, I will tell the story again later today :-))
I am like you, Jules :-)) I like what they make with them. Just a little bit as my head easily spins :-)
Thank you to all of you for your comments.
Il faudrait nous donner les bonnes adresses.
RépondreSupprimerun peu de publicité pour le vignoble du languedoc serait le bien venu.
Now, that shot would make a beautiful wine label. Another good reason to visit that region !!
RépondreSupprimerLe vendange déjà? C'est précoce cette année alors....
RépondreSupprimerHope it's a good grape harvest this year. Looking forward to seeing your Wallabies' photos, Marie.
RépondreSupprimerthanks for commenting on my blog...i like ur interesting post about the grape harvest..i was told wine comes from grape juice...its it true???
RépondreSupprimerI am collecting pictures of grapes. I would be grateful if you would consider allowing the reproduction of a few of your photos. I would need that the grape variety be identified for each picture. You'll see an example page if you click on my name.

Félicien, thank you very much for your comment and for your site, which is very informative and enlightening :-))
RépondreSupprimerI hope all my English-speaking friends will visit it.
As regards the photos, of course, you can use them. I can also send them to you "full size." I took the photos in Vogüé (on top of the hill facing the castle, near a bekeeper's house). I don't know which variety they are.
Crow, I don't know much about wine making but wine is made from the juice of pressed grapes which is made to ferment.
RépondreSupprimerTu as raison, Bergson, je m'y emploie....
Oui, Expat, ça bat son plein ici.
I think you won't be disappointed, M. Benaut.
Cabacurl, I'll post the photos in a little while :-))

RépondreSupprimerDemain j'irai à l'île de Kangourou pendant 2 jours. (l'Ardèche de l'Australie du sud !) Je prendrai quelques photos de l'influence coloniale tôt de Français sur cette île.
