Vinification and maturing
Vintage : 2012
The winegrowers certainly suffered Mother Nature’s whims in 2012, with hail, shatter, summer rain, sudden shifts in temperature, almost constant humidity, and mildew, both downy and powdery. But a hot and sunny August in Burgundy saved the day and the harvest. As a consequence, yields were very small but the extreme concentration foretells exceptional quality.
