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.
