    2018

    Ideal Conditions for High-Quality Wines

    The 2018 vintage in the Côte de Beaune benefited from ideal conditions throughout the vine's growing cycle. After a cold winter and generous spring rains recharging the water reserves, fine weather settled in from May. Generous sunshine and warm temperatures without excess allowed harmonious vineyard development.

    The hot and dry summer did not cause water stress thanks to the reserves accumulated in spring. Cool nights also preserved the acidity and aromatic freshness of the grapes. The harvest took place under ideal conditions between late August and mid-September depending on the sectors, with generous but controlled yields.

    White Wines

    The 2018 Côte de Beaune white wines are distinguished by their incredible aromatic complexity, explosive on the nose with white fruits and citrus. On the palate, they combine great concentration, superb mineral freshness, and a strong expression of the terroir.

    Red Wines

    The 2018 red wines from the Côte de Beaune display an intense ruby robe and gourmand nose of fresh red fruits and sweet spices. These are structured and powerful wines with fine and elegant tannins, perfectly reflecting their different terroirs. This sunny and balanced vintage offers Côte de Beaune wines of great concentration with lots of substance and smoothness, but also superb freshness and tension.
