Domaine Vrignaud Chablis 2020

Made with 100% Chardonnay grapes grown in Burgundy, France produced by Domaine Chablis and harvested on the 1st of September 2020.

After the mildest winter since the beginning of the 20th century, the mild temperatures at the beginning of March favor an early recovery of vegetation.

Temperatures rise rapidly in May and June, heat wave in August. The high temperatures suggest a lack of acidity, but the acid potential of the grapes is maintained thanks to the high tartaric acid contents.

The harvest begins early in September thanks to the good weather conditions which persist. These will allow the latest plots to achieve good maturity, which can sometimes lead to over-maturity phenomena.

This 2020 vintage will be remembered because, in the context of climate change, it could be representative of the vintages to come.
