Scorching temperatures have hurt vines in southern France so much that output will fall but the hot weather could produce a vintage of 'exceptional' quality, winemaker Jerome Volle said as he harvested grapes in the early hours of Wednesday to avoid the heat.

"This year we are on a late concentration which will raise the quality of the grapes, and therefore the cost of the wine, as the smoothness and aromas which will emerge will make a rather exceptional wine for the 2023 vintage," Volle said in his vineyard in Valvigneres in the Ardeche region.
