Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Fèves Monopole 2014

Despite a rather cool and unsettled summer in 2014, the vines in Burgundy showed great adaptability to the changing conditions. Flowering proceeded well, but fruit development was slowed by a lack of sunshine in August. Fortunately, dry and sunny weather returned in early September, allowing for gradual and steady ripening. Harvesting began in late September under favorable conditions, with careful sorting to select only healthy, balanced grapes. Against expectations, the vintage produced elegant wines with fresh acidity and great aromatic precision.
