THE VINTAGE
The beginning of spring was particularly hot and dry, with monthly temperatures in March and April exceeding the norm. Winemakers then experienced a rainy summer from July to August which resulted in acetic souring (acid rot - Drosophila Suzukii), but thanks to warm weather in September, the development of rot on the grapes was limited and the grape harvest was able to take place in good conditions.
