The wildfires raging across southern France have burned hundreds of homes,
forced thousands to evacuate, and sent clouds of threatening smoke over Bordeaux's world famous wine region.
To find out how the wine industry is weathering the flames, we traveled to the Chateau Duyak, an estate once owned by the noblemen who designed central Paris.
Lauron Cisneros opened his winery here 16 years ago and now these vines produce enough grapes for up to 120,000 bottles a year.
>> Is there any danger from the fires here?
>> No, because the vineyard is protected.
The only problem we have is economic because people have been told not to come to vineyards and to Bordeaux even though the vineyards are open to the public.
Vineyard tourism is an increasingly important part of the global wine industry.
Chateau Duyak usually welcomes 6,000 visitors a year, including Americans like Sebastian Joseph Day, defensive tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
>> Usually, you will have a lot of people coming. You will have like tourists stopping from the eyeway. And as you can see today, it's pretty empty because it's totally empty today.
>> No visitors means no tourism revenue.
A major blow for a business now expanding into hosting weddings for international couples.
Cisneros tells us his grapes, which are still young and will stay on the vine until August, won't be affected by the smoke.
>> The wine is going to taste okay.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Taste. It's okay.
>> Today, the maturity of the grapes is at the stage of early ripening. The skin is hard and thick, so there is no risk.
Paradoxically, he says the intense heat means the grapes need less humidity treatment this year. And so 2026 may end up an unusually natural vintage.
But for now, there's little to do but wait for the tourists to return >> something.
Cheers.
>> And raise a glass to a future hopefully free from flames.
