Harvesting began on 4 September in order to avoid overripeness in the grapes. Yields were “good" — that is, "normal" quantity (which hasn’t been seen in many recent vintages), but not at the limits; 2018 will have higher yields than 2017.
All grapes were destemmed. Malo-lactic fermentations finished in late 2017 and early 2018, and the wines were racked in July 2018.
The estate continues to take back property that had been under sharecropping agreements (métayage). In particular, it will take back Bourgogne Pinot Noir, Vosne-Romanée, and Echézeaux vines, putting the estate up to 8 ha in size, with a little sharecropping still left of village Vosne and Echézeaux left under Pascal Mugneret.
Unsurprisingly, beautiful, pure wines here for those lucky enough to obtain them. (Continue reading here.)
