Burgundy picking and flowering dates 1975–2020

2020 grape harvest in Gevrey Chambertin

9 December 2020 Below the table is how the evolution looks in a graph, kindly assembled by Alistair Murray.

7 December 2020 The evolution of this record tells its own tale of climate change. Above, grapes are harvested in 2020 in Gevrey's Premier Cru Champonnet, as captured by Jon Wyand.

On the same day as we publish my tasting notes on Drouhin's 2019s, I thought it would be interesting to reproduce this list of dates recorded by a prominent Côte de Nuits wine producer.
