(Please see my overview of the 2018 vintage in the Côte d’ Or here.)
Arnaud Mortet said that he began harvesting on 3 September and it went very fast. Alcohols did not exceed 13.6-13.7º. He performed a big green harvest, the largest since 1999, and would up with 45 hl/ha for the village wines, 40-45 hl/ha for the premier and grand cru wines. Whole clusters in some wines, not in others this vintage. Some wines finished malolactic fermentation in January and February, others were later at the usual time. Arnaud has shortened vinifications compared to the past.
The three relatively new grands crus, Echézeaux, Mazis-Chambertin, and Bonnes Mares, are included.
