Burgundy

Vintage Overview

A classic vintage with elegant wines showing great balance and freshness. The 2021 vintage in Burgundy was challenging, requiring meticulous work in the vineyard. Late spring frost significantly reduced yields, but the surviving fruit benefited from a cooler, longer growing season. The resulting wines are more restrained than recent warm vintages, with bright acidity and classic Burgundian elegance.

Growing Conditions

Severe frost in April caused significant crop loss across the region. A cool, wet spring delayed flowering. Summer was mild with periodic rainfall. September brought warm, sunny weather that allowed fruit to ripen fully while retaining freshness.
