The weather: The weather in 2012 has been labeled by many as very challenging, but it has created some fantastic champagne. Relatively low yield due to different weather conditions throughout the year. The winter months brought some frost and hail which damaged the early stages of budding. August and September were very warm and this helped to save and give the grapes a fantastic maturity.
