FEATURES
The 2020 vintage in 布根地 (Burgundy) was largely considered excellent, despite being an unusual year due to the global pandemic and unusually high temperatures. It was one of the earliest harvests on record, with many growers starting in mid-August. Despite the warm and dry conditions, the wines, especially the whites, are noted for their vibrant acidity and good terroir expression, defying expectations of overripe or flabby wines. The white wines of 2020 are described as exceptional, with fantastic balance, great acidity, and wonderful concentration, yet moderate alcohol levels. They are ripe yet incredibly fresh, reminiscent of the 2017 vintage but with more focus and intensity.
