1er Cru Bonneveaux

Val and Vaux are words from ancient French which have retained the literal meaning of the Latin word Vallis "valley" from which they come. They also retained the feminine gender often used for place names.

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.
