2015 was an excellent vintage in Burgundy. Ideal weather-conditions, perfectly healthy, fully-ripe grapes; all the necessary conditions were present to make an exceptional vintage.
After a fairly mild winter, springtime came rapidly with relatively high temperatures and fine sunshine. Thanks to these mild conditions, flowering occurred in early June followed by the veraison in mid-July leading to certain grapes in Southern Burgundy being harvested as early as late August. The only difficulty was drought which led to a fall in yields, especially for Pinot Noir.
White Burgundies show a fine intensity with full aromatic qualities. Generous wines which represent the sunny conditions. Red Burgundies are rich and dense, showing aromas of ripe fruit and spices. Pleasing, well-rounded wines which show off all the qualities of this fine vintage.
