A Challenged Harvest
With the lowest temperatures since 1996, the first part of the year contrasted with the entire decade. Winter frosts and a cool spring were reminders of the vineyard’s northerly latitude. The summer was hot, but not excessively so, and infrequent rain confirmed a particularly dry year. Suddenly, in mid-August, everything changed. The equivalent of two months of rain fell in just two days. With the heat and the water, maturation was fast and generous, but the harvest began with Botrytis cinerea attacking the pinot noir grapes. As in 1995, the grapes had an elevated balance, at the same time sweet and acidic, but some parcels had to be left out and others sorted in order to bring out the best in a vintage rich in contrasts.

Nose & Palate

The wine is surprising, less powerful than expected. That is, this power is also displaying lightness. It is strikingly intense, precise. Also delicate, dense and silky. Everything seems to be integrated within it, like reconciled, a mastery of opposites. The obvious coherence of its flesh fills the mouth with an impression of suspended, spherical presence, which is deploying and amplifying: it relaunches itself within the duration of the tasting, stretching out the movement of the wine. Its personality leaves a feeling of poise and self-confidence. It has a refined and distinguished aesthetic, which unfurls in an elegant and majestic manner.
