The mildness of the 2020 winter, recorded as the warmest since the beginning of the 20th century, leads to an early bud break of the vine. If the sunshine and mildness of March and April favor a rapid flowering, the end of spring is very rainy. The month of July, dry and sunny, is marked by the beginning of veraison on July 7. The rainy episodes in mid-August do not impact the vigor and health of the vineyard. The conditions of the late season are ideal, notably thanks to a beautiful thermal amplitude beneficial for refining the maturities and achieving the optimal balance of the beautifully concentrated grapes.
