This episode examines the extraordinary 1556 wine harvest in Burgundy, which was recently surpassed by an even earlier picking date in 2026. This historical period was defined by extreme heat and drought that began in the spring, leading to ground temperatures so high they reportedly burned the feet of local residents. Researchers used archival records and climate data to reconstruct these ancient harvest cycles, illustrating how pre-industrial society turned to religious processions to plead for rain. While modern agricultural techniques like canopy management now help vintners mitigate such harsh conditions, the 1556 season remains a critical benchmark for understanding long-term climate shifts. Ultimately, the episode highlights an unsettling parallel between the environmental crises of the sixteenth century and the rapid warming observed in contemporary viticulture.
