The vintage
The 2019 vintage is a vintage of contrasts, marked by great heterogeneity. The weather was fresh in spring, scorching in summer and dry throughout the year. This climate prevented the development of disease. Cold, rainy weather in June disrupted flowering, leading to coulure and millerandage. Hydric stress, which varied from sector to sector and from terroir to terroir, then blocked ripening. This resulted in small berries and relatively low yields. Fortunately, the return of rain from September 22 boosted ripening and enabled red grape varieties to reach their full potential.

Tasting
Deep garnet-red color.
The aromatic nose integrates lovely ripe fruit notes, dominated by dark berry aromas such as blackberry and morello cherry, as well as very discreet empyreumatic notes. Full-bodied, supple and crisp on the palate, with a silky tannic structure and a fine finish.
