The 2023-2024 campaign, following the bountiful 2022 vintage, saw a return to more typical conditions. The exceptionally generous 2023 vintage allowed for significant replenishment of stocks, providing reassurance ahead of a 2024 vintage that is expected to yield lower volumes. Estate sales boosted by grape transactionsAfter a 2022-2023 campaign that rebounded thanks to the excellent 2022 vintage, estate sales in the 2023-2024 campaign continued this positive trend, albeit at a slightly slower pace: up 1.6% (2023-2024 campaign vs. 2022-2023 campaign), as the need to replenish stocks was less pressing.

In Bourgogne, as in much of France, this year has been marked by atypical weather patterns with rainfall far exceeding the seasonal averages. In addition, localized but severe frost and hail episodes have compounded the challenges. Such conditions heightened disease pressure, necessitating tremendous effort throughout the growing season to preserve the crop.

Abstract This study investigates the effect of using cation exchange resins in a red wine obtained by flash détente thermovinification on the oxidative stability of red wines and rosé sparkling wines obtained by blending the resin-treated red wine with white wine. The results show that reducing the pH of thermovinified red wines by cation exchange improves their oxidative stability and increases the intensity of the red colour, although it reduces the concentration of total anthocyanins. The analysis of metals in the wines indicates a general reduction of cations with the use of resins, which may contribute to the oxidative stability...
