1er Cru Vauvry

Vauvry is derived from Vavre or Vaivre "wet place, hidden stream". In Celtic Vabero means "that which boils below, marshy land". It is linked to the flow of groundwater which feeds the meadows.

The 2022 vintage brought serenity back to the vineyard with a heathy harvest and correct volumes. With rainfall accumulations far from excessive, the year 2022 was marked by average temperatures higher than seasonal norms and rainfall deficits from the start of the vine’s vegetative cycle. At the beginning of April, episodes of frost will recall the terrible nights of April 6 and 7 of 2021, but fortunately with an impact beyond measure. The year 2022 is the year of all records for sunshine with the equivalent of an additional month of July.
