Laetitia Les Galets Pinot Noir 2018

2018 was a moderate vintage. Above average rainfall in the Spring replenished soil water reserves and refilled aquafers. Cooler daytime temperatures in the Summer shifted the ripening season—extended hang time allowed for optimal flavor development. The resulting 2018 crop was even and mid-sized, expressing excellent fruit character. A generally cool summer was followed up by a slightly warmer than average fall. This culminated in a steady ripening of the fruit to peak ripeness.
