Burgundy is actually in a "state of catastrophe" [decanter.com] right now. Madiran and Pacherenc aren't happy either. Too much hail — multiple rounds of it.

That leaves Burgundy with only 2 outstanding vintages (2005, 2015) in 11 years. Harsh. Which means prices will only continue to rise (sigh).

Wonder if it'd be possible to put transparent beach umbrellas over the vines…
