Château Paradis Casseuil

The vintage
2016 has been a remarkable vintage in the Bordeaux region, reminiscent of the legendary 1990 in terms of both quantity and quality! It was, however, a difficult year for winegrowers, with a very wet start to the growth cycle (800 mm of rain over the first six months of the year), a very dry period from 1 July to 13 September, and finally localized thunderstorms and a beautiful Indian summer that enabled the grapes to reach optimal ripeness. The wines are rich, smooth and fruity, with tannins of a rarely obtained maturity and very deep colours.
The harvest took place from 23 September to 18 October
