Tasting
millésimes
Each vintage brings out the character of its terroirs in its own way. Soil, grape variety, sunshine, temperature, rainfall (especially in late summer and early autumn) all contribute to bring out the wines' expression, subtly different every year.
Different every time, but always closely linked to the soil which imprints its character on them from the start, but seasonal conditions also make their mark. the aromatic intensity and power of a given wine may be variable. This offers the wine-lover the pleasure of making discoveries, of experiencing excitement of discovery: terroir gives the framework, yearly conditions add the detail.
- 2006
-
A "classic" year in Burgundy, drier than 2007. The summer was fine, though August was damp.
From 10th September onward the temperature rose and maturity along with it. Originally forecast for the end of September, in the event harvesting began on the 13th.
The beaujolais arrived at the vatting house well well-ripened and yielded great wines.
The Pinot Noir in 2006 offers very-well-fruited wines similar in some respects to those of 2004.
The chardonnays have yielded tender and aromatic whites.
