1999: A generous year both in terms of quantity and quality. Ripe, sweet, very juicy grapes with good acidity and perfect balance.
The red wines are slowly starting to open up, but the grands crus need more time.
The bouquet of the white wines was closed-in for a long time, but is now fully expressive, and the wines are ready to drink.Grape Variety & Plot size
