Winemakers Comments

A trying year, from the April frost, aggravated by an early restart of the vine, to the harvest. The brutal weather changes imposed their tempo and it was necessary to adapt. The harvest started around September 20th and ended quickly, two weeks later. Upon arrival at the winery, the harvest is sorted and vinified with precision, paying great attention to the aromatic balance. The aromatic potential of the musts is there, with notes of fresh citrus fruits in the Chablis wines, and the sugar-acid balances find the typicalities appreciated by the amateurs of Burgundy wines. This vintage is therefore historically low in volume, but classic in its profile.
