Domaine de Montille Clos Vougeot 2008

The Domaine de Montille Clos Vougeot 2008 is showing fine intensity and concentration for the vintage. It’s starting to reveal some maturing notes – sous-bois and some earthy minerality accompanying red and dark fruit. Very finely balanced with refined notes of youthful yet maturing fruit. Not yet fully open energy-wise; still, drinking well at the moment.

  The 2021 vintage in many ways comes from an annus horribilis, especially if you are located in Côte de Beaune and make white wine. The spring frost in April struck hard and also somewhat randomly, leaving some vineyards denuded of fruit (Domaine Roulot lost 50% to the frost alone). Then came humid weather, with ...
• Two-Step Pruning
  The years 2016 and 2021 both suffered enormous damage from spring frosts, in Burgundy and elsewhere. This encouraged vignerons to begin seeking a lasting solution to the global warming-related spring-frost problem. Some have adapted their pruning schedules from winter to late in March, hence risking less frost damage. But there is also a more adaptable solution ...
