Jaboulet vintage report: In the northernmost part, the harvest began on September 22 and ended on October 16. An exceptionally mild autumn, with several beneficial showers. This is a good time to note that over the last decade or so we have seen a change in the seasons. That is to say poor springs and good autumns, with many more good vintages as a result. This remark is further justified by the vintages of 1988, 1989 and 1990.
A mild winter follows at first, but then the end of winter is very cold with lots of snow: typical winter weather. Early spring is pleasant, but later it rains so much that growth is stunted by the lack of warmth. June and July are bad. On the other hand, August and early September are good. The harvest had relatively good weather and some rain. Finally, with healthy grapes, rot spraying gave very good results. In red, we produced very beautiful wines with a certain elegance, but not very full-bodied. They will be ready to drink very soon and they deserve ONE STAR. These are very salable wines.
The white wines are well-formed, with perhaps a bit of spiciness, but with their acidic base they will keep well.
