WEATHER CONDITIONS
The coldest point was -7°C in early April 2022. But thanks to favourable weather conditions in the following weeks, the vines is starting to grow again.
While May ended with exceptionally low rainfall, June and July were similar to 2020, and August was lower again.
However, our vineyards on the northern slope of the clay-limestone plateau favour us: here, temperatures will not exceed 40 degrees Celsius.
