INFOS
Presentation
This wine is the jewel of the estate: a premium vintage made from grapes selected from our best plots and terroirs, to keep only the best berries. Separate vinification in small stainless-steel vats and barrel ageing combined with ageing in amphora and jars.
This wine is delicate, elegant, complex... Perfect for cellaring for ten years or more, but also a quicker approach for the more impatient!
A rare wine produced in small quantities.
The vintage
The 2019 vintage follows in the footsteps of recent great Bordeaux vintages. The winter was surprisingly mild, followed by a rather cool spring. Summer was hot, but the rain came at just the right time on several occasions: in July and August, then a few showers in early September. These rains were a lifesaver, keeping the grapes fresh and energized before harvest.
