This was a few months ago, the hour was about sipping a nice, easy natural wine named Loup Garouge (by Kevin Henry) and this strange fly came out of nowhere as if it tried to mimic the magic of both the wine and the moment...

We all think grape harvest in Burgundy is only done by hand but I spotted this combine in the Côtes-de-Nuits area, busy machine-harvesting a parcel of what looked like Chardonnay. It's probably a lower parcel located on flatland outside any Appellation zone (there was a corn field just on the other side of the road). Pretty violent on the vines and foliage, at some point I was struck with flying debris hitting me with high speed and chose to stop walking further behind the machine...
