In this paper, we develop a new methodology to estimate past changes of growing season temperature at Fontainebleau (northern France). We have produced here three new proxy records: d18O and d13C of latewood cellulose of living trees and timbers from Fontainebleau Forest and Castle, together with ring widths of the same samples. d13C data appear to be influenced by tree and age effects; ring widths are not controlled by a single climate parameter. By contrast, d18O and Burgundy Grape Harvest Date series exhibit strong links with Fontainebleau growing season maximum temperature. We have used a linear combination of the two records to reconstruct inter-annual fluctuations of Fontainebleau growing season temperature from 1596 to 2000. Over the instrumental period, the reconstruction is well correlated with the temperature data (R²=0.60).
This reconstruction is associated with an uncertainty of ~1.1°C (1.5 standard deviation), and is expected to provide a reference series for the variability of growing season maximum temperature in Western Europe.
