MAS HAUT BUIS
2023: Somehow complicated
The winter was quite cold. The bud and spring rainy in April and unusually cool in May.
The bud break took place on April 15. Fairly heavy rains (300mm) followed between May 15 and June 20, which resulted in strong pressure from downy and powdery mildew. The flowering was heterogeneous.
Drought marked the summer and for the first time since the creation of the Mas, the vines showed slight signs of stress. The harvest started on August 20 and ended on September 26. On September 10, 200 mm of rain helped unblock the maturities.
“There were a few withered grapes at the start of the harvest,” said Olivier Jeantet, “overall it was a somehow complicated year but in the end we have the usual volumes and wines with a lot of freshness, depth and finesse.”
