découvrir notre boutiqueVins Prosper Maufoux

Marked by a historic earliness, from budburst to harvest, the 2020 vintage is absolutely exceptional and remarkably classic. At the time of the confinement, in mid-March, the good weather settled over France. The vines took advantage of this to get a three-week head start on budburst. The flowering, very early, gave hope for an abundant harvest, but the high temperatures of the summer, coupled with the lack of rainfall, caused a significant water deficit. This deficit lowered the yields and caused some concentration and even scorching of the grapes on the sunny side. The harvest started in mid-August in the Mâconnais. This vintage is more than ever the mirror of Burgundy's diversity. Choosing the date of harvest requires coolness and even patience. Finally, the overall health of the grapes is very satisfactory. The particular conditions of this vintage give rise to new and quite unique balances. There is a subtle richness, of course, but also a pleasant tension, especially in the reds.
