(Please see my overview of the 2018 vintage here.)
2018 was the larges harvest in Anne Gros’ career. Harvesting began on 4 September. No sorting of the grapes was necessary. As usual, all grapes were destemmed. Malo-lactic fermentations were quick for this estate, beginning at the end of November and finishing by Christmas. There was no chaptalization and alcohols are 12.5º for the white Bourgogne-Hautes Côtes de Nuits, 13º for the Bourgogne blanc, 12.8º for the red Bourgogne-Hautes Côtes de Nuits, 13.8º for the red Bourgogne. The only other note I have for alcohol levels in the other wines is 13º for the Chambolle-Musigny. (Continue reading here.)
