At Domaine JP Jamet they prefer the 2019 to the 2018 thanks to its freshness and balance.
Jean-Paul Jamet says this is partly thanks to four small rainfalls of around 30mm between 20th July and 20th August which blessed them with larger yields and a more steady, regular ripening.
‘You hope for a few vintages like this in your life,’ he says, describing the vintage as ‘magical’.
