Vintage : 2013

2013 is listed as the vintage with the fourth lowest yield in the past 4 years. The climate situation was not legendary, it was rather modest. The Winter and the Spring were cold, long lasting and wet. Generally, we had hot and dry days in July and August, however the delay in the vegetative growth at Spring was not caught up. September was not pointed out for its generosity either. The sun was discreet and it was raining regularly which didn’t help the maturation process. This kind of late vintages usually play in the favour of the precocious Côte Chalonnaise. Choosing an accurate date of harvest, sorting in the vineyard and at the winery and adjusting the vinification to the vintage will make all the difference.
