Terroir and Characteristics
The 2020 vintage was harvested under contrasting conditions depending on the region, with often clay-limestone soils and varying climates. The combination of spring frosts and summer heat allowed optimal ripeness of emblematic grape varieties such as Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon. This vintage is noted for its rich tannins and remarkable balance.
