July, August and September were very dry.
Disease pressure was therefore minimal and the grapes were at optimum ripeness levels. We continue to work taking a highly considerate approach to the environment. No chemical fertilisers or weed killers are used.
The excellent weather in the autumn allowed us to set our ten days of harvesting at our convenience over a period of four weeks in October. The results were as outstanding as we had imagined.
The domaine’s wines are intensely coloured, fruity, lively, harmonious and well-balanced with a tasty, fleshy character and good length.
