   yes probably, but good producers will not change their ways, they’ll adapt.

   The wines will be different.

   Ending biodynamic farming is one of the dumbest ways of approaching this, they should be furthering regenerative agriculture and learning from historically hotter regions on how to manage the climate.

   How is it possible that there’s farmers in Crete and Sicily and Catalunya and Campania making fresh vibrant wines with balance and yet Chablis can’t figure it out? It’s because they’re farming for yields and volume and not quality.

   The wines have to change, maybe even the varieties have to change, but the most important thing is that the changes come from a place of conscious effort to farm responsibly and not from a “how can we keep making millions of bottles of mediocre Chardonnay” place.
