Some named it “the vintage of the century” at the time, but it looks like several new vintages entered the competition since then! The spring and the summer were an alternation of rain and hot days, making it the perfect environment for the good maturation of the grapes and leading to a perfect harvest weather. The vines made that year are to be kept for five to ten years to allow them to reveal their full potential.

A challenging year with torrential rain until late June, followed by a drought that lasted from July until the end of the harvest. The maturation was slow, very slow, but eventually happened and the grapes were fresh and crunchy when harvested. Turned out to be a great vintage!
