Vintage 2021

After a period of frost, especially on April 6&7th, we had a humid June month and the flowering was done only around June 20th.

In July, the temperatures were normal but we had a steady period of rain and humidity and the sickness pressure was very strong till the beginning of August.

We finally started our harvest on September 20th and without surprise we did 50% less in general due to our April frost. The bigger lost was in our Ier Cru Vaillon, Grand Cru Valmur and Vaudésir. Les Clos and 2 parcels of Vaillon were not too bad, thanks to our frost protection who did their job !

The 2021 are fermenting nicely and already delivering some nice aromas, but we got to be patient with it.

The 2021 in our opinion is absolutely superb and will be enjoyable young and after a few years for the Grand Cru .
