| Review: |
"Aubert de Villaine's nephew Pierre de Benoist noted that the vineyards under the domaine's aegis now total 36 ha (up from 18 ha) though only 30 are presently being farmed. He succinctly described the 2019 growing season as "one where we got seriously hurt by the frost, especially in Bouzeron where we lost about 40% of the crop. Otherwise the conditions were hot and very dry, which engendered moderately high alcohols with very good densities if only average acidities. The wines are promising and I am surprised by how good the terroir definitions are." -Importer Notes, Kermit Lynch |
