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

Intense purple colour with violet hue and black core. A very elegant wine with great freshness and fruit reminiscent of blackcurrants and blackcurrant spurs, fresh sloe and hints of raspberries. Refined floral components, oriental spices, cocoa and hints of vanilla in the background. On the palate refined character, well structured with ripe tannins, fine acidity and complemented by juicy fruit and discreet spiciness, showing excellent length and a promising potential.  

  • 95p

Tasted in May 2021. 58% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc. Fragrant raspberries on the nose, elegant with finesse on the palate, sleek with delicate balance and smooth finish. Very solid wine but it could use some more concentration and depth.
