The vintage
- All's well that ends well... more or less. After an unusual winter- the hottest since 1900 for the period December/february- the early budding stage took place mid-april. « Black frost » on the night 26/27th of april damaged many young buds; our Beaune Longbois is particularly hurt. Wet spring conditions were followed by return of sunny conditions mid-june during flower . The maturing process was irregular because of extreme weather conditions. The grape harvest started on 23 September with Pinot noir. Pure and vivacious in the mouth, citrus notes. Getting round and elegant after raising in cask.
