After a mild and rainy winter, a particularly hot month of February, and the summer weather at the beginning of spring, the bud break occurred early. The intense frost episode during the nights of April 7 and 8 caused historic damage to the entire French vineyard. The vegetative cycle was very disturbed but hope is reborn with the counter-buds which restart in the last week of April thanks to milder temperatures. The very wet month of June created millerandage and coulure phenomenon, limiting again the harvest potential. Great vigilance in the vineyard allows the grapes to mature in good sanitary conditions despite a complicated climatology.
