Santenay Beauregard 1er Cru 2014

After a mild and rainy start to the year and an episode of frost in mid-April, the vintage found its stride with a hot and dry month of May, ideal conditions for flowering. The end of spring took place under optimal conditions. The summer was marked by a violent episode of hail at the end of July and relatively cool temperatures in August accompanied by some rain. At the beginning of September, the Indian summer took over and allowed the grapes to reach an optimal level of maturity. The harvest took place at the end of September under a beautiful sun. The red wines reveal great aromatic purity with marked notes of red fruit and a generous structure. Aged in oak barrels for 15 months.
