According to François Millet at Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé, 2019 was ‘A subtle vintage; things were said so quietly and calmly, and there was nothing demonstrative about except the elegance.’
Frédéric Mugnier at Domaine JF Mugnier began his harvest a bit earlier than normal, picking between 13% and 13.5% potential alcohol, with nothing over 14%.
Christophe Roumier noted a similar range of ripeness, even though he delayed his harvest to a week after Mugnier: ‘It’s a bit less sugar than 2018, but I’m very pleased. There is an interestingly low pH that makes the wines resemble 2015 with a bit more power.’
