Wine Description
The Story
The making of a great wine starts at the vine. Dedicated care and constant attention is required at each stage of growth, from the very first cut of the secateur. Throughout the year, we tend to our vines with utmost precision.
Above all else, the domain strives to capture the quality and diversity of its vineyards. The soil of Burgundy produces exceptionally fine, pure wines. It is essential to reveal the delicate balance of minerals, clays, limestones and other elements, which makes each wine so unique.
Vintage 2020
In Burgundy, the harvest is over for most farmers. It has been a year with a lot of heat both in July and August. A huge problem this year has been leaf-thinning and canopy management. Those who have not paid enough attention to the leaf-thinning experienced problems with sunburned grapes.
In Cote d’Or, it is especially the heat that has been tricky this season. First and foremost, some grapes have been burned by the sun resulting in raisins that the critical winegrower will not want in the cellar. Secondly, too much sun for a longer period caused stress among the vines and thus shut down the ripening. The result is grapes that look ripe but are still not ripe in taste. On the other hand, the most critical winegrowers report of really good grapes in the winery. Producers up north in Chablis are also reporting a satisfactory harvest.
