Vintage 2020

In Bordeaux, the heat led to early flowering. Additionally, this led to an early harvest after a very hot summer. As a starting point, there is great maturity in the grapes, and we can expect a more opulent vintage than in recent years.

This year's summer was the hottest since 1959, but the rain fell at just the right time during the growing season. The harvest took place two weeks before the norm and will produce grapes with high alcohol potential and the lowest acidity since the 2003 vintage. As they say in Bordeaux: “It was a good and extreme growing season which , hopefully, also produces great wines.”

Written Notes

Dark purple colour with violet hue and almost black core. Well matured nose with freshness and an aroma reminiscent of blackberries, black cherries, blackcurrant spurs and hints of raspberries complemented by discreet floral aroma and fine toasting. On the palate well balanced with velvety tannins, juicy and ripe berries, dark stone fruit, elegant spiciness and discreet toasting. An excellent Pagodes with convincing length.
