(Decanter) - The majority of white grapes in the 2012 Bordeaux harvest have been brought safely in to the cellars under warm and sunny conditions, but the forecast for the week ahead is rain, complicating decisions over when to bring in the red grapes. First estimates of yields for the white wines, according to CIVB president George Haushalter, are around 20% down on last year, with reds expected to be between 10-20% down.
