VINTAGE 2013

The 2013 wine year finally returns to the glorious past of late vintages. After a cold and wet winter, a gloomy, very cool and particularly well-watered spring, the vines began their growth about fifteen days behind the ten-year average, a delay that they maintained until the harvest. A hot and dry summer, the strongest sunshine ever recorded in Champagne, was particularly beneficial for the quality of the grapes. The rains of early September quickly gave way to an easterly wind that allowed the grapes to be kept healthy until the harvest.
