Red Burgundy - 2003

White Burgundy - 2003

Overall quality of the vintage: poor. By far the hottest summer since 1893, a drought linked to an unprecedented heatwave across France. This vintage will come to be nicknamed "the year of fire". The red wines, as well as the whites, will reflect this climate very well; the reds are velvety and opulent, the whites are perfumed, with notes of citrus fruits and white flowers. The wines are successful despite the lack of acidity and the great maturity of the berries.
