Vintage perception

2023 was an excellent vintage for Burgundy. Alternating good rains, windy periods and cool temperatures throughout the campaign resulted in a very well-balanced harvest, with a real freshness in the wines obtained. Despite the high temperatures during the harvest, around September 10, the wines are easily digestible, very fine and without excess.
