The 2020 vintage in Alsace was a brilliant year, marked by a surprisingly mild winter and warm spring, leading to an early budburst and flowering. Despite a very dry and hot summer, intermittent rainfall helped prevent severe drought, and cool nights preserved good acidity levels in the grapes. Winemakers noted healthy fruit with little need for sorting, and a good level of freshness despite elevated alcohol levels. The harvest began early, around late August to mid-September, often during heatwaves, requiring careful picking in cooler morning hours. The 2020 Alsace wines are expected to be very nice, with good acidity and balance, and fine aromas. 【A brilliant Alsace vintage with good freshness despite the heat】.
