The calendar places Bordeaux fête ses vendanges on the third weekend of September. The harvest bar already runs August–October.
CIVB regulates that row. The Bordeaux terroir page covers Left Bank Cabernet and Merlot; this note does not rewrite it.
The same month still has Burgundy, Chablis and later Rioja on the Gantt. Today the anchor is Bordeaux.

The public Gantt shows which of the 12 estates are in harvest this month — without opening the simulator.

Is the festival the start of Bordeaux harvest?
No. The Gantt opens the bar in August. The festival is the third weekend of September, mid-season.
Where does the date come from?
From LagarLab’s public calendar, aligned to the festival held since 1909 that September weekend — not a daily vintage bulletin.
