“The 2022 vintage was an excellent surprise for all the winegrowers in Burgundy, in quantity and above all in quality. The hot, even scorching summer that we experienced made us wonder about how our vines would react. It is clear that they adapted very well, which allows us to be,optimistic about this 2022 vintage.
The winter was mild, with little rain. The month of March was exceptionally dry and fortunately quite cool, which slowed down the start of vegetation a little. April, as it is now usual, gave us a succession of a few mornings with light frost. Late pruning and the installation of wind turbines allowed us to get through this very delicate episode without damage. On this occasion, we abandoned the use of candles in the vineyards because they are much too polluting.
Spring was more like the beginning of summer and the vines grew at an unprecedented speed. We were a bit late compared to previous years inmid-April, but by mid-May we were already ahead. Vine growth records fell at the same rate as monthly temperature records. Flowering ended on the hillside as soon as May 23 and ended at the beginning of June in the plain (Villages and Bourgogne Blanc).
We started the month of June with a rain deficit of 30 percent. This month turned out to be one of contrasts with a beautiful period of rain on June 3rd and 4th, then a heat wave from June 16-21 (peak of 37°C two days in a row), thunderstorms from the 22nd, and nearly 55mm of rain around June 30th.
The weather was nice and warm in the first half of July, then hot with a heat wave on July 19th and 20th. Fortunately, the morning temperatures remained below 20°C. We experienced a third heat wave from Augustm 1-4. From August 14th, the weather became milder again with smallmdaily rains which allowed the vegetation to finish its maturity.
We began the harvest on August 25th by inaugurating our new cuvage Rue de l'Eglise which exactly met our expectations, enabling us to accelerate the harvest while allowing long pressings, beneficial for the
quality of the musts.”
