    An Exceptional Vintage of Anthology

    The 2018 vintage in the Côte de Nuits is considered an anthology vintage, exceptional in many respects. The year was marked by very favorable climatic conditions with a rainy spring recharging the soil's water reserves, followed by a hot and dry summer ideal for grape ripening.

    Budbreak was early in mid-April, flowering occurred in late May under summer temperatures, and véraison began as early as July 10 under the heat. The summer was almost canicular with several heatwaves exceeding 35°C in July and August. However, cool nights preserved the acidity and aromatic freshness of the grapes.

    Red Wines

    The 2018 red wines from the Côte de Nuits are distinguished by their intense ruby robe, gourmand nose of ripe red and black fruits, and ample and silky palate. These are structured and powerful wines with lots of substance and concentration, but also superb aromatic freshness. Their great tannic richness combined with good acidity gives them excellent aging potential.
