Vintage Notes
Winter was relatively warm and wet, with warmer than average conditions prevailing at the beginning of spring. This led to an early budburst in most regions. The onset of April spring frosts and windy conditions caused problems for growers in most regions, resulting in low yields. Some regions were more than 50% down on average. The remainder of the growing season was quite dry in the south of France, while the north experienced periodic summer rain. A vintage of contrasts, however there were rich rewards for growers who were able to manage the climate challenge with many regions reporting excellent results, albeit a smaller crop than hoped for.
