Produced in a variety of methods in the Old and New World resulting in a light and minerally style to more tropical flavours.

Following on from a fantastic vintage the year before, French vineyards endured a mixed bag of weather conditions in the early part of the growing season followed by a long, hot summer which produced some memorable wines, even to rival to the excellence of the previous year.
