After a mild Winter without frost and a rainy Spring, the drought set in from mid-May until mid-August. Almost 10 weeks went by without water but lots of sunshine (maximum temperatures extended to about 35°C). From mi-August, the temperatures dropped about 15°C with the effect of rain. The return of dry conditions during the first 15 days of September ensured a healthy harvest, without mildew and powdery mildew.
This Vintage Blanc de Blancs is an exclusive blend of our 3 Grand Crus: Cramant (60%), Avize (35%) and Oger (5%). The yield reached 11.500 kg per hectare, with a good balance between acidity and sugar.
