Wine Information
|
2011 began with a very rainy winter which filled up the water reserve before the beginning of the season. The spring was warmer than average and budbreak and flowering were about a week earlier than in 2010. These conditions had a very positive impact on the quality of the vintage as it resulted in a very even grape development. Summer was a bit cooler and two rains of 25 mm (July 5 and July 27) helped the veraison and the beginning of the maturation continue without water stress. The end of the ripening was accelerated by a hot August, and surprisingly we had to harvest the first block of Merlot on August 19. The other parcels were then picked on the 25th and the 26th. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot were picked in a record of 11 days from the September 15 - 26. This resulted in an amazing mix of concentration and freshness. |
