Vintage 2025 at Domaine des Hospices de Beaune.

Our impressions over time...

// 7 September 2025 ///

2025 is (again) an early vintage, very early indeed. Harvesting in Burgundy began as early as mid-August for some winegrowers, thanks to a heatwave in the first fortnight of August that speeded things up. Due to a complicated flowering, with humidity and wind, a harvest with yields that were not excessive was to be expected, and that's what happened! The bunches, often smaller but in perfect health (a relief after the complicated year of 2024!), offer great potential.

Harvesting at Domaine des Hospices de Beaune began on August 22, targeting Chardonnays first, in the Meursault and Bâtard-Montrachet sectors, before extending to Côte de Beaune Pinot Noirs shortly afterwards (Beaune, Volnay, Pommmard). A deliberate pause in harvesting took place immediately afterwards, to allow the less ripe plots to reach optimum maturity - a strategy that testifies to the priority given to quality over quantity. The harvest ended on September 7 with the prestigious Côte de Nuits parcels, including the new Clos de Vougeot donation. Fermentation is now underway, and promises to be a very fine vintage!
