Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2021

Vintage Details
From April frost until the harvest in September, the brutal weather changes imposed their tempo. The winegrowers had to be reactive and attentive at all times. During one of the few moments of respite, flowering took place in good conditions, ensuring the formation of future fruit and veraison from mid-August. Thus, except for the volume, the great successes are commensurate with the efforts made.
