Réserve Collection 1990

Besserat de Bellefon (hentet 2. nov. 2026): Weather conditions in 1990 were very similar to those of 1989 with a dry and hot spring and summer leading to early harvesting. The grapes from the black varieties were particularly healthy. We were a little worried about the Chardonnay as we approached picking time. After storms at the end of August, we feared an attack of rot. Most fortunately, the fine weather that followed prevented the parasite from developing and the excellent qualitative levels of this yield were noted. This Besserat de Bellefon 1990 vintage was made from grapes coming entirely from seven Grands Crus villages, one Premier Cru village and one Cru village. The particularity of this vintage is that it did not undergo malolactic fermentation. “Remarkable for its balance, our 1990 vintage reveals notes of spice and honey and flavours of candied fruit. A collector’s wine par excellence but, first and foremost, a vintage that ages exceptionally well” TECHNICAL INFORMATION BLEND : 44% Pinot Noir - 32% Chardonnay - 24% Meunier SOURCES : Seven Grands Crus : Cramant - Mesnil-sur-Oger - Oger - Vertus - Ay - Bouzy - Verzy One Premier Cru : Cumières One Cru : Damery DOSAGE : 3g/L
