Vintage 2012

2012 was beset by unusual weather that didn’t spare the vines! A mild winter, spring-like March, cool spring with frosts, summer-like May, cooler, wetter June, a variable summer with heatwaves, hail and storms… Because of the cold damp spring, some of the vine flowers didn’t set and form fruit, there was millerandage (where the flowers aren’t fully fertilised and give small berries) and high pressure from mildew and odium. Temperatures went right up during the short periods, over-heating and scorching the berries. This weather caused a significant fall in yields, without, however, impacting on the quality of the grapes, as well spread out bunches with small berries guarantee concentration and intensity.
All in all, the grapes achieved good ripeness in aromas and good sugar to acidity balance. The white wines are characterised by their finesse and concentration. The reds set themselves apart with their lovely colours, ripe and silky tannins and their harmonious mouthfeel

Written Notes

A focused, precise Bâtard that would be interesting to taste alongside the one produced at Domaine Leflaive. Smoky, textured yet very mineral on the palate it’s a wine that carries its power and concentration very lightly indeed. A class act, but a restrained one, too.

Masterful. Such an esoteric yet recognisable nose. Some flinty reduction, plus fine grained texture and green apple fruit. Long, lithe, lingering. Catnip for Burgundy tragics. Drink 2016-2026. – Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com 18/20
