1982
A particularly severe and late frost on May 10th drastically reduced the potential crop size. The following year, we installed our frost‑protection system… Thanks to the exceptional weather conditions that followed during the spring and summer, a second generation of clusters — smaller in quantity — was able to reach very good ripeness.
1982 immediately proved to be the finest vintage of Pavillon Blanc in a very long time. For the first time, we achieved not only great aromatic finesse but also remarkable power on the palate, which has allowed the wine to evolve beautifully in bottle. To be enjoyed now. (October 2025)
Climate
Throughout the whole year, the weather conditions were very favourable for the vines and for the ripening of the grapes. After an early flowering, the summer was particularly hot, especially in July and during the first two weeks of September. The grapes reached outstanding ripeness levels with, among other feats, a record concentration in sugar. (The picking began 20th September)
