Meursault
Clos de la Velle
The 2020 vintage is a unique vintage. It is marked by historic precocity from budburst, with an advance of 3 weeks, until the harvest which took place entirely in the month of August. High temperatures associated with a lack of precipitation cause a significant water deficit as well as evapotranspiration phenomena in July and August. The absence of rain, on the other hand, allows the health of the grapes to be very satisfactory. The particular conditions of this vintage generate wonderful balances.
Vineyard
Clos de la Velle is in the upper part of Sous la Velle, adjacent to Château de la Velle, a magnificent 13th century property. Deep, rich top soils over a rocky base enable good year-round drainage.
