Burgundy has suffered a lot from the weather in recent years. Then the hail is too hot and too dry. This can be very local. Then it is useful when you, as winemakers, have vineyards in multiple appellations. This way you can spread the considerable risks somewhat.
Climate change limits yields and also demands the utmost from winemakers. For example, to keep the alcohol percentage within limits. Meanwhile, there are more and more filthy rich people worldwide who pay a lot of money for beautiful Burgundy. Unfortunately, this puts upward pressure on prices. Fortunately, you can still find a lot of beautiful things to enjoy here at Lekker Sapje!
