    An Exceptional Vintage for the Côte de Nuits

    The winter and early spring were mild with little precipitation. The March rains, combined with strong sunshine, favored very early budbreak in early April, followed by equally early flowering at the end of May, about three weeks ahead of a normal year. The cool weather in early June maintained excellent sanitary conditions. However, the high temperatures of July and August, combined with rare thunderstorms, caused water stress, significantly reducing the initially estimated harvest potential.

    Red Wines

    The 2020 red wines from the Côte de Nuits show beautiful concentration, with deep colors rich in anthocyanins. They offer a rich aromatic profile focused on black fruits such as blackberry, blueberry, and black cherry, with freshness and gourmandise.
