FEATURES
The 1991 vintage in Burgundy was initially overlooked, coming after the highly acclaimed 1990s. However, for Pinot Noir, it proved to be a successful vintage, yielding wines of strength, depth, and significant aging potential, with some even eclipsing their 1990 counterparts. The year saw a severe frost in April that reduced crop potential, and hail in June and August, but July and August were fine, dry, and hot, leading to a rapid harvest in late September. Red wines from 1991 developed into firm favorites, showing good vineyard definition and an admirable sense of balance and precision.
