wine description

Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Les Fairendes Vieilles Vignes Blanc by Domaine Vincent & François Jouard comes from a land located in the Morgeot Premier Cru area, in a place called Les Fairendes, south of the village of Chassagne Montrachet, at the foot of the hill, before arriving in Santenay. The plot of this appellation extends for 0.63 hectares and the average age of the vines is 50 years.

Climate

After a particularly short winter, the months of February and March are almost spring, dry, with even a record of heat for the season on February 27, favoring the awakening and early development of the vines. On April 5th there is a first morning frost followed by four others until May 7th. Winegrowers run for cover by lighting fires to protect the vines. The summer of 2019 is one of the hottest known with two heat waves: one in late June and the other in late July. In some places it will exceed 40 ° C. Fortunately, the month of August brings rains that allow nature to regenerate. The climate is cool at the beginning of September to warm up as the harvest approaches, which begins in the middle of the month.
