The sweetness of spring allowed a generous bloom, without too much coulure and without millerandage. The dramatic change in weather during July prevented early vegetative growth, due to extremely qualitative water constraints. Sunshine was 20% above normal over the period from July to September, and 50% lower rains gave our vines the ideal conditions to produce large grapes; tiny berries, rich in aromas and flavors with a dense and suave texture.
The hydric conditions, very similar to the years 2000 and 2016, is associated with an essential thermal amplitude between sunny days and cool nights. This favored a rare freshness and aromatic complexity and tannins combining power and delicateness.
