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.

A demanding vintage. 2023 is now seen as the hottest year with the temperatures above seasonal averages. This vintage is also characterized by significant water deficit during the growing season and strong disease pressure. We also noticed strong heterogeneities in maturity with dynamics that are difficult to anticipate. The harvest was generous, allowing us to carry out a thorough sorting, especially on the Pinot Noir.
