🚨NEW TASTING REPORT🚨

🍷2023 Côte de Beaune – Part 1🍷

Read the full tasting report via the link in my bio.

‘The 2023 harvest in the Côte d’Or is not like anything I have seen before. For many producers it was the largest crop on record, followed by the smallest in 2024 (for red wines, at least). It was also the hottest year overall on record, yet the wines do not behave like a hot vintage. The full report on the growing season can be found HERE.

The salient points are as follows:

- A very mild winter
- Frost risks avoided
- Flowering in excellent conditions at the end of May.
- Regular but not excessive rain
- Hailstorm on 11th July, mainly affecting St-Aubin and parts of Meursault
- Variable weather in July and August
- A burst of extreme heat to coincide with the early September harvest’

‘Champagne’s Grand Cru villages have a common feature: chalk-rich soils. The direct effect on Champagne’s “chalky flavour” is not fully understood, yet there is no doubt that these limestone deposits influence the various acids and structures of the wine and aid the impression of “minerality.” As you are likely aware, the superiority of champagnes from these villages is obvious, even if the dynamics subtly differ from cru to cru.

But why is chalk so desirable?

The chalk acts like a sponge in that it absorbs and holds water so that the roots can access a huge, virtual, underground reservoir during dry conditions. Conversely, excess rain drains away during extremely wet weather, avoiding surface flooding. But if you have too much chalk and insufficient topsoil, vine metabolism slows down, lengthening the ripening cycle and creating acidulous, light wines that are low in the extract. Balance is everything.’
