Is the French 20 12 vintage good?

20 12 years is a bad year. The grape yield in France in 20 12 years is one of the lowest in recent ten years. The heat wave weather affected some producing areas in southern France, and the thunderstorm weather in the east reduced the budget of wine products.

The grapes of champagne are affected by frost, and fungal diseases such as downy mildew are serious this year, which greatly reduces production.

Burgundy and beaujolais were most affected by hail weather, which seriously damaged the vines and provided conditions for the occurrence of diseases and insect pests.

According to the report of the French Ministry of Agriculture, the total output of champagne producing areas is estimated to be 202 million liters, down 26% year-on-year; The wine production in Burgundy and beaujolais was 1.9 1 100 million liters, down 23% year-on-year;

The weather conditions in Bordeaux in 20 12 are close to those in 2000. The weather conditions in the first few months are not good, and the weather is fine near the harvest season. However, because the rainfall in 20 12 is earlier than expected, the excellent opportunity for high-quality wine brewing may be lost in 20 12. The total amount of AOP wine was 538 million liters, down 65,438+0.8% year-on-year.
