Grading vintages


 

Vintage Quality Guard Strengths Weaknesses
2022 17/20 Good Solar vintage but Gevrey did not suffer from drought due to the heavy storm rain in June with more than 100 mm of water. The wines produced are pleasant; of great finesse, elegant and with fine tannins. Good production capacity: 42hl/ha Wines reserved for collections and which will have to wait a few years to appreciate all their organoleptic qualities.
2021 15/20 Average Fruity, supple, elegant vintage, close to 2000, can be drunk in its prime. Low yields 22 hl/ha due to severe spring frost and poor weather conditions. Extremely small quantities.
2020 19/20 Good Very nice vintage. Concentrated wines due to the drought of summer. Approaches 2019 when tasting but with a touch of acidity in addition. Low yields 30 à 35 hl/ha due to the lack of water in summer, wines that can keep for several years.
2019 18/20 Good Very beautiful vintage, our wines are concentrated, well balanced with silky notes and a velvety touch. Low yields 35 hl / ha due to the concentration due to drought, wines to keep or to taste young on the fruit.
2018 16/20 Good Correct yields 48hl / ha. Beautiful materials. Balance of dreams. A great vintage. A vintage to keep. Reserved for big fans who have the patience to wait
2017 16/20 Good A solar year that gave very ripe grapes producing wines very pleasant, of great finesse, flexible, elegant with fine tannins. They can be drunk young or keep 5 to 10 years. The quantities produced 45 hl / ha are normal after several years of low yields.
2016 17/20 Good

Good maturity of the grapes, very healthy harvest, great concentration, delicate tannins, these wines will be very elegant and can be kept in the cellar or enjoyed young and fruity.

The produced quantities are very small, about 30 hl/ha, because of the frost at the end of April that largely impacted our vines. Grand Cru Chambertin was the hardest hit with only two vats produced.
2015 18/20 Good

Mature grapes, beautiful materials, perfect balance, wines that can be drunk young or we can keep in cellar during 15 years.

Limited quantities 38 hl/ha, due to the hot summer and concentration phenomena.
2014 15/20 Average

Mature grapes. Very fruity wines, delicate, drink in their youth. A normal harvest in quantities not seen since 2009.

2013 16/20 Average

Fine and delicate fruity wines that can be drunk young.

Even a small harvest in quantity (38 hl/h) because the passage flowers in spring was difficult causing sagging and millerandage.
2012 16/20 Average

Soft and fruity wine that can be drunk young.

Very fine red wines in small quantities: down 35% compared to a normal year like 2009.
2011 15/20 Average

Fine and delicate wines, with a good fruitiness, wines to delight lovers of Burgundy wines, wines that we will be able to drink young.

The harvest will again be a small one – down 20% on a normal year such as 2009.
