    2019

    Contrasting Conditions and High Quality

    The 2019 vintage in the Côte de Beaune was marked by a cool and wet spring, followed by a hot and dry summer. After early budbreak in late March thanks to a mild winter, low temperatures and abundant rains in April and May slowed vine growth, delaying flowering by about two weeks compared to 2018.

    The summer was very hot and dry, with several heatwaves exceeding 35°C, causing slight water stress, concentrating the grapes but limiting yields. The harvest began around September 12-14 in early sectors like Pommard or Volnay, ending around September 25-26 with volumes generally in the average despite the summer drought.

    Red Wines

    The 2019 red wines from the Côte de Beaune have an intense ruby robe, silky tannins, and good acidity bringing freshness and tension. Their concentration and structure suggest good aging potential.

    White Wines

    The white wines from Chardonnay offer great aromatic diversity between mythical appellations like Montrachet and hidden gems like Saint-Aubin or Santenay. Their balance and aromatic richness focused on citrus and white-fleshed fruits make it a very promising vintage.
