The vintage
2019 was a year of contrasts, and was characterized by tremendous variation. A cool spring, scorching heat in the summer and dry weather throughout the year prevented the development of diseases. However, cold, rainy weather in June disrupted flowering, causing coulure and millerandage. Furthermore, water stress, which varied depending on the area and the terroir, resulted in some instances of ripening being checked. The berries were therefore small, resulting in lower than usual yields. Fortunately, there was some rain after 22 September, which relaunched the ripening process and enabled the red grape varieties to reach a good level of maturity.

Tasting
Deep garnet colour.
Expressive on the nose marked by ripe, fresh fruit. Finewood, slight vanilla notes complete the bouquet after aeration.
The mouth is elegant, the coated tannins are tempered by a nice acidity. Well-balanced, long and intense, it gives way to a fruity and tasty finish.
