EXCEPTIONAL YEAR. GOOD COMPLEXITY. PROMISING VINTAGE TO LAY DOWN.
Very great vintage for the red wines, great ageing potential
Temperatures warmer than normal in January, which became cooler in February and rose again considerably in March and April. Then came a rather hot summer with heat waves. This was quite a dry year overall, with a few thunderstorms at the end of August, but good levels of sunshine in spring and summer.
The 2015 vintage was a hot, very sunny year with little rain.
It yielded good quality grapes to the detriment of quantity.
Bud break: from 8 April Flowering: end of May Veraison: mid-July
White wines: expressive, lovely fruity notes, aromatic purity, balance between freshness and richness in the mouth Red wines: intense, vibrant robes, a lot of energy, complexity. Silky, rounded tannins, absolute ripeness.
Chablis area
Very fine harvest for this 2015 vintage of great aromatic complexity
The first months of winter were mild and wet. A drop in temperature in March was followed by a fairly warm if rainy April. A very warm start to the summer with June reaching temperatures above average made the lack of rain sorely felt. The rest of the summer was hot and dry with sunshine in July in contrast to the previous months. A violent thunderstorm at the end of August caused some damage but nothing major. Clement temperatures returned in September.
Côte de Nuits
Ideal weather conditions for an exceptional vintage
A cold winter, particularly in February, that gave way to spikes in temperature at the start of spring. Sunshine followed in mid-April and May. The weather was fairly dry and warm but, thanks to a rainy winter, there was no shortage of water. August was fairly hot but punctuated with rain, giving way to ideal weather conditions until the end of the season and the grape harvest.
Côte de Beaune
Ideal weather conditions for an exceptional vintage
A cold winter, particularly in February, that gave way to spikes in temperature at the start of spring. At the beginning of July, there were rainy periods that subsequently gave way to a hot, dry summer. The start of August was wet, but it was followed by ideal weather until the end of the season and the grape harvest.
White wines: rich, delicious, fine balance Red wines: magnificent, dense colours, very fruity, good refreshing acidity
Mâconnais
Profound wines with great ageing potential
The winter was normal for the region. Temperatures were mild and spring was just as mild and dry. The start of the summer, like the rest of the season, was warm and dry, which led to a lack of water for the vines. Start of the grape harvest at the end of August
Beaujolais
2015, very great vintage
Although there were several episodes of snow in the Beaujolais region, the winter was quite warm on average. The start of spring was warm and dry, with little rain and surprising spikes in temperature. A heatwave marked the start of summer but temperatures were more clement in August with a little rain.
Red wines: beautiful robes, discernible tannins but silky and good aromatic concentration
