In the Champagne region of northeast France, dozens of workers ​gathered among chardonnay vines at dawn on August 14, secateurs and buckets in hand, beginning the second day of the earliest harvest since ‌records began in the early 20th century. Climatic changes such as the record heat and drought endured across swathes of Europe this summer are testing the resilience of France's champagne industry. Higher temperatures accelerate ripening and produce grapes with a higher sugar content, making it harder to preserve champagne's flavour and acidity. This summer the Champagne Committee (CIVC), the industry's governing body, which determines harvest dates by monitoring grape maturity, advanced ​the official start date to August 12 — more than a week earlier than last year's August 20.
