‘If the 2018 wines were notable for their (albeit stylish) power and mass, the 2019s bring finesse and elegance to the equation without sacrificing concentration’ wrote Charles Curtis in his vintage report for Decanter.com.
He said: ‘The vintage takes its place alongside other exceptional recent years in Burgundy, carving out a niche for its outstanding balance of intense fruit, firm structure and supple texture.
Yields were low, however: 1.2 million hectoliters, compared to an average of 1.5 million – and the 1.8 million harvested in 2018. The reds are generally ripe and forward, with plenty of body and velvety tannic structure.
