Jean-Marc Vincent, Santenay
This is one of Jean-Marc and Anne-Marie’s best ever vintages. Frost and poor weather at flowering and a dry year led to low
yields (25-30hl/ha for whites and 25hl/ha for reds). They keep levels of foliage high and this protects the grapes from sun burn
and shrivelling, and results in a normal register of aromas. Whites were harvested from 9th-15th September and reds from 16th-
19th September. The whites now get 18 months in 350-500 litre barrels and the flavours are fresh and mineral. The reds were
vinified with 50-70% whole bunches and are now matured for 18 months in 350l barrels. They waited for the maturity of the
tannins and some of the reds are 14-14.5%. These are powerful red wines but balanced. I think the extra six months maturation
will refine the wines. Bottled with Diam corks.
