Montagny

1er Cru Vignes sur le Cloux

As everywhere in the vineyard, Clou or Cloux is to be compared to the term Clos which determines a closed place. Sur (above) and Sous (below) determine its position on the hillside.

Until the last day, the 2021 wine year is trying. Marked by severe episodes of frost between April 5 and 9 which significantly reduced the harvest, the vines awakening was difficult, and the months of April and May were rainy and cool. Until the harvest, which began on September 20, the brutal weather changes set their tempo: responsiveness and constant attention are necessary. Fortunately, the lull in June allowed the flowering to take place without incident and veraison was favored by good conditions which set in from mid-August.
