What can we expect from the 2022 vintage in France?

After the catastrophic year of 2021 in which France's winegrowers had to struggle with late frost, hail and mildew, 2022 brought a qualitatively and quantitatively satisfactory yield in practically all winegrowing regions of the country. The total quantity is 18 per cent above the previous year. In Burgundy, a promising red wine vintage is on the horizon. Thanks to moderate temperatures throughout the summer and cool nights in late summer, the wines are said to be more elegant and less alcoholic than the 2018s, for example.
