Précision N° 15

DESCRIPTION & composition

2015 saw very dry conditions, with sunny weather and episodes of heat and drought from May to August, followed by providential rains in September, allowing the grapes to flourish while maintaining their freshness.

These weather conditions favored aromatic concentration, revealing fresh fruit in the finest white wine varietals, powerful fruitiness in the best crus of Pinot Noir and remarkable vivacity in the Meunier.
