However, unlike both these vintages, the yields were kind to the growers such were the perfect weather conditions from bud break through to harvest. The end of the vegetative growth cycle took place in hot and often very dry conditions across the region. Isolated localised thunderstorms in July brought with them a sprinkling of rain.\u003cbr\u003eIn the Côte de Nuits, the south of Nuits Saint-Georges was struck twice by hailstorms. Luckily, however, there was little damage to the vineyards. The vines\u003cbr\u003eremained healthy and the sun shone consistently throughout summer. There was barely any need\u003cbr\u003efor triage, and it took us a fortnight to pick the entire domaine. For the whites there was an\u003cbr\u003eexcellent levels of ripeness that lead us to expect great white wines that will be both rich and\u003cbr\u003eopulent but balanced by appropriate levels of freshness. In reds, the level of concentration is rare\u003cbr\u003eindeed. Colours are deep, yet tannins have an incredibly supple character, the result of perfect\u003cbr\u003elevels of ripeness at harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFood match\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrilled and Roasted White Meats\u003cbr\u003eChicken and mushroom stroganoFf\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Billericay Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51579810972030,"sku":"","price":49.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/3376\/5951\/files\/2AB549F3-C437-4996-903D-8466784D6453.jpg?v=1728927805","url":"https:\/\/www.billericaywines.com\/products\/louis-jadot-pernand-vergelesses-les-combottes-2018","provider":"Billericay Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
