The very mild spring of 2020, with lovely sunny days, led to a very early budburst in the vineyards on April 5th. The almost summer-like temperatures in May reinforced the earliness of the vintage with flowering on around May 25th, 15 days ahead of the average for the last 10 years. The summer was dry with a first heat wave at the end of July, followed by two others in August. Harvesting began on September 2nd. As the weather was still very hot, harvest was done at night and work stopped in the early afternoons. The wines of the 2020 vintage are sunny with a lovely fullness and concentration.
