The vintageThe 2020 vintage is in line with the great, notable vintages of the Bordeaux vineyard. After a mild winter and a turbulent spring, the summer of hot days and cool nights offered an ideal climate for optimal development of the berries and their maturity, favoring a remarkable harvest.
The profile of this vintage is less powerful than 2019, which had riper notes, but has more silkiness, finesse, delicacy and exceptional color while being superbly structured and balanced, giving it additional years of cellaring. . An exceptional vintage.
