What does burgundy wine 2013 give?
Overall low quantities, once again, with sometimes catastrophic yields on some appellations, especially in Côte de Beaune (Pommard or Volnay for example, which have experienced episodes of hail). Everything obviously depends on the regions, Chablis has for example 14% less wine production. On the other hand, who says low yields often says quality at the rendezvous, thanks to a beautiful maturity of the grapes, favored by smaller or less numerous bunches …The tastings on barrels have for the moment been very encouraging, but we must wait for the end of the fermentations, alcoholic of course, but also malolactic, and the first bottling to get a really valid idea on the cuvée of Burgundy wine 2013. This will soon be the case with some producers who for lack of sufficient stocks in 2012 will not drag for the bottling of their Burgundy 2013. To be continued!
