"At last a freezing winter that will give a good rest to our vines" were we thinking in January 2024 watching the snow falling onto the windmill. Hallas, mild temperatures appeared right at the beginning of February, getting the vegetative cycle started very early on. First buds were out by the end of March. April and May broke all temperature records (35°!) and water was scarce. Flowers spread their scents at the end of May. Thankfully, at last, June brought a few rains helping the grapes to develop. But these days, the price to pay for a bit of water is high. On the 24th and 25th of June some plots of Corcelette in Morgon, and Fleurie, were hit by hail. July displayed high temperatures and sunshine, and, for the first time ever, we saw grapes changing colours on the first week of July. August was dry, hot, with no cloud on the horizon. We started the harvest on Grand Carquelin plot in Moulin-à-Vent on the 19th of August. Like 2020, the vintage 2022 released shows incredibly no signs of the turmoil and heat-waves of the year, and together with colour and intensity, the wines are fresh and elegant.
