Côte de Beaune 2019
2019 was a year of great contrasts in terms of the weather. It brought plenty of stress, with some tense moments, yet the harvest went smoothly and the end results were fabulous. It was hot and dry, but the wines nonetheless reveal a vigor that is delighting fans of Bourgogne wines. The magic of years ending in a “9” happens once again. In Côte de Beaune, this is an extremely promising vintage. This was a particularly hot year and the wines are of astonishing quality. They have a very rich aromatic range with aromas of ripe fruit like apricot, peach, and quince, mingled with touches of orange and candied lemon and delicate vanilla and floral hints. In the mouth, they are indulgent with exemplary balance, characterized by unusual concentration and body. Their length on the tongue and aromatic persistence is quite simply impressive.
