Wednesday was dedicated to the Regional Designations “Les Rouges Champs” and then the next day to Aligotés and Bourgognes whites.
The 27th was in Vosne Romanée for the 1st cru “Les Suchots” and “Les Petits Monts”. After a day of rest, we continued the harvest in Hautes-Côtes-de-Nuits “Les Dames Huguettes” and a week later Hautes-Côtes whites and reds, “Le Prieuré” and “La Croix” on Saturday, 6th October...."
Hardship leads to excellence...
The year 2012 was particularly trying for the vine growers throughout the vegetative phase but what a challenge to overcome!
Rare and precious, this magnificent vintage offers dense wines with deep colour, fruit with a hint of blackcurrant, cherry and strawberry in the wood that are rich and intense with spicy notes. The tannins are silky and round and the acid-tannin balance offers wonderful aromatic complexity and great harmony.
