In a few words ...
Planted mainly on warm terroirs, the reds were affected by sometimes excessive temperatures. Scalds (June 27) and blocked ripening, as well as particularly meticulous sorting in the vineyard to ensure that only homogeneous bunches were kept, significantly reduced harvest volume. Fortunately, the summer rains boosted the ripening of the reds, and the mild September led to a fine ripening of the late Merlots on clay and the Cabernets. Round grape vinification was favored, with gentle extraction to enhance grape expression. Despite a difficult vintage, the wines are full of promise.
Tasting notes
Appearance
Beautiful, dense, deep red color.
Aroma
The predominantly Cabernet-Sauvignon blend from the magnificent plateau reveals a complex nose of red to black fruits, combined with hints of smoke and mocha.
Wine Fruity | Spicy
Taste
Fresh, fruity and unctuous on the palate, with a remarkably fine grain of tannin and no roughness despite the density and concentration, offering a very seductive whole. The finish is long and harmonious.
