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 black core. The nose is very concentrated yet closed initially. Opening up slowly displaying and aroma reminiscent of ripe blackcurrants, blackcurrant jelly, blackberries, sweet elderberries and black cherries, backed by mild spices, aromatic herbs and fine toasting. Floral hints in the background. On the palate rich yet elegant with ripe yet firm tannins, juicy fruit and fine hints of mild spices and fine toasting. A wine with freshness and convincing length.

Tasted in June 2021. A selection of grapes from the best plots is chosen for this wine and it's vinified in oak barrels and ageing in barrels and amphoras. Plenty of aromatic blueberries and mulberries on the nose and creamy berries on the palate. Well-defined, grained tannin, lively, velvety texture and delicate structure, quite complex and with persistent finish. Simply splendid stuff.
