The Vintage
Fortunately, the Gironde estuary protected the vineyards of the great Medoc appellations. Our losses were therefore minor. Then, the weather was very favorable to the vines during the whole season or almost. The flowers in mid-May and the berries opened on July 7th attest to these favorable conditions.
Despite some rain in September, the sanitary state remained perfect until the moment of the most optimal maturity. For the Merlot, we started the harvest on September 18th, then 10 days later, it was the turn of the Cabernet Sauvignon, followed by the Cabernet Franc and the Petit Verdot.
This year we have added a new vat room with 32 concrete tanks of 40 hl. It allows a real return to the essential, with the setting in tank then the wine making without machine and without noise, only with the hand of the man.
