The vintage
2018 is characterised by record rainfall in the first half of the year, in contrast with a second half among the driest and hottest in recent decades. We were able to keep the threat of mildew in check, which remained a significant problem until July. The vines remained fully protected through the painstaking work and constant monitoring of our teams, together with strict adherence to environmental protocols approved by the certifications Terra Vitis and HVE 3. We were ready to face the summer months full of confidence, and were aided by favourable weather conditions from early August. Harvesting was staggered over a 4-week period. Thanks to the Indian summer, each parcel had time to reach ideal ripeness, and for the first time ever (a vineyard first!), the Cabernet Sauvignon was picked before the last Merlot. Fruity and complex, the wines show a creamy and elegant texture.
Tasting notes
Lovely ruby appearance. Characterised by aromas of ripe red fruits on the nose, the wine is round and voluptuous on the palate. Extremely delicate and structured tannins linger throughout the tasting. Appealing well-balanced finish.
