Burgundy has been severely affected by the weather in recent years. Hail can be too hot and too dry, for example. This can also be very localized. In such cases, it's beneficial for winemakers to have vineyards in multiple appellations. This allows them to spread the considerable risks somewhat.

Climate change is limiting yields and also pushing winemakers to their limits, for example, keeping alcohol levels within reasonable limits. Meanwhile, increasingly wealthy individuals around the world are shelling out big bucks for fine Burgundy. Unfortunately, this is putting upward pressure on prices. Fortunately, you'll still find plenty of wonderful wines to enjoy here at Lekker Sapje!
