2023 at the Darviot-Perrin estate

Domaine Darviot-Perrin's vision of the 2023 vintage

The 2023 vintage looks set to be a great success for Domaine Darviot-Perrin, even surpassing the promises of 2022. This generous vintage nevertheless suffered two critical episodes that sent shivers down the spines of winegrowers on the Côte d'Azur: a risk of frost in April when the vine buds had already come out, but which in the end caused very little damage, and a hailstorm in July, causing some losses on the Meursault 1er Cru. Fortunately, the natural generosity of the vintage made up for these few losses.

The rest of the season passed calmly, without drought or disease, enabling the estate to minimise the need for treatments and mechanical intervention. The harvest, which began in early September in unprecedented heatwave conditions, was carefully adapted: the grapes were picked early in the morning to preserve their freshness. The grapes were remarkably healthy, requiring very little sorting before pressing.

For the red wines, the grapes were completely destemmed, while fermentation of the juices, initiated without any additions, began rapidly.

According to Pierre-Antonin Darviot, the whites of the 2023 vintage share some similarities with those of 2022, but are distinguished by a slightly more pronounced richness and structure. The reds, meanwhile, are reminiscent of the 2017 vintage, with an elegance and finesse that will delight wine-lovers.

The 2023 vintage offers well-balanced wines that are accessible when young, yet have excellent ageing potential, once again confirming the excellence of the Darviot-Perrin estate. A vintage to discover and enjoy.
