Côte de Beaune 2020 (white)
2020 will remain in the memory for many reasons. Not only was it the year of lockdowns and pandemic; it was also a unique and very satisfactory vintage in Bourgogne. This vintage was an historically early one, from budburst right through to harvest. The hot and sunny weather also ensured the grapes were bursting with health on the vines. Even more surprisingly, tasting has confirmed that despite the high temperatures and almost constant drought conditions, in addition to their rich aromas, the wines are also revealing a freshness that is as unexpected as it is remarkable.
Whites from Côte de Beaune have had perfectly ripe grapes combined with an acidity that stood up to the hot weather has resulted in concentrated and superbly balanced wines. The nose evokes yellow and tropical fruit like mango, grapefruit, orange, and bergamot, and they offer impressive length in the mouth.
