Generations of local knowledge have taught our grape growers the secrets of each appellation. They know where to source the best grapes to create the most outstanding wines.
The vintage
2023 will be remembered by Bordeaux winegrowers as a difficult vintage, saved by an exceptional Indian summer. Winter was cold, with rainfall at the start of the year, typical of an oceanic climate. Between April and June, warm and humid weather settled in, creating unprecedented mildew pressure. The peak of the pressure occurred during flowering in June, with alternating rain and heat causing severe crop losses (75% of the Entre-Deux-Mers region was affected), while the remaining vineyards required meticulous monitoring. After a cooler-than-average August, a heatwave between August 18th and 24th dramatically changed the vintage’s trajectory. Summer firmly took hold in September, with drought conditions and high temperatures allowing for excellent grape ripening.
