2021 Domaine Faiveley 'La Framboisiere Monopole' Pinot Noir Mercurey

2021 is a rare vintage. After a classic winter, late March saw much higher temperatures than usual for this period: 27°C! The bud burst took place ten days earlier than anticipated on the 4 April. Then, during the nights of the 5, 6 and 7 April, temperatures fell well below as low as -8 °C. Our Chardonnay vines as well as the whole of the Côte chalonnaise were highly impacted by the frosts. From May through until July the weather was cool and humid. Flowering took place mid-June. The weather was warm and sunny from the 10th of August onwards. The harvests began on the 21 September and drew to a close on the 30 September.
