Vintage year review :
May and June were sunny, with some rain sometimes. July was just dry and August was hot, with temperatures changing from 20° to 35°. The Harvest was good and the wine has a beautiful robe with notable tannins. It is simply elegant.
Tasting advice:
Drink it now or wait to fully enjoy it.
The Harvest in 1998.
That year in the vineyard…
Saint Vincent Tournante in Rully.
That year in the world…
