1er Cru Clos des Angles
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
Located on the higher level, this well-exposed to South-East climat is generally early during the harvest. The brown limestone sloped soil is shallow. The style of the wine is fairly full-bodied, like Pommard, the neighbouring village. Our cuvee is produced with the purchase of grapes from several small plots in this terroir.
