Champagne Vineyard October
$22.00
Northeastern France in the second half of October, somewhere between Reims and Épernay. The grapes have been in for a month. What's left is the slow turn. Pinot Noir leaves yellow first, then Meunier russet, then Chardonnay paler, running in tidy rows down the chalk slopes. The light comes low across the hill by four o'clock. A grower's tractor passes every so often. The villages are quiet again, the harvest crews gone home. The chalk underneath is what makes the wine, and what holds the gold for the week before the frost.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
