2018, a Special Club Vintage so... special !Throughout the year, the weather was ideal for the vines: a cold, rainy winter ; months of May and June with high temperatures (up to 30°C), favoring a rapid & healthy vegetation development; a sunny summer that led to excellent ripening. The richness in sugar and aromatics were significantly higher than in other years.
To craft this Vintage 2018, we selected two of the best small plots in our village of Festigny for the particular richness of their Meunier grapes. These plots were respectively harvested on September 3th and 7th, with an average yield of 14.500 kg / hectare.
Available in bottles (75cl) and magnums (150cl - Vintage 2015)
