The vintage
Spring came late, resulting in a slightly delayed growth cycle. Flowering began on 21 June.
The summer was characterized by lower temperatures than usual. This lack of heat continued until the start of ripening. Fortunately, towards the end of August, we had a very good spell of late-summer sunshine, enabling the grapes’ tannins to mature to perfection.

Tasting
The nose reveals notes of cedar, tobacco, and leather.
Delicate and balanced, with tremendous complexity, this wine has a beautiful roundness on the palate and a long finish.
