Meursault
Tillets
The season begins with a mild and dry winter, leading to an early start to the growing cycle. A significant episode of frost occurred on the Chardonnay on April 5 then on the Pinot Noir on April 14, causing a harvest loss (30% to 50%). A cooling at the beginning of June leads to capricious flowering. This causes runoff and further reduces yields while concentrating the aromas. The hot summer induces water stress in certain places which delays the maturity of the grapes. Because the berries are small and few number, the sugar level in the grapes is naturally high but the lack of water helped maintain good acidity.
Vineyard
Next to Narvaux and Les Clous, the terroir of Tillets covers old quarries. In the marly area of Meursault, the wine produced is more similar to the style of Puligny. The wine structure is elegant, floral and a little angular.
