Weingut Tortochot in Gevrey-Chambertin - Burgund

Jahrgang 2015

There was fast no winter.

This permit a bud break a little earlier than usual.

The vines began to flower around the 15 th of june very sucessfully and in a small time(3 days).

This announces a plentyfull crop with no desease.

After July has been very hot and dry (we have had temperatures above 35 ° C during more than 2 weeks) such weather has not been seen since the year 1949.

We have received some rain at the beginning of August so the grapes can increase their size.We have decided to begin the harvest on 5 th of september.

A return to cooler dryer weather with a north wind also helps prevent any deterioration in the health of the grapes and the quality of the fruit.

So we have really enjoyed an outstanding seasonThe first grapes we analyse have a very high natural potential of sugar(12 %) a low acidity, smooth tannins and good colour.

The grapes seem to be at optimum maturity and in excellent health.

So we are confidently talking about an extremely good year 2015
