The bad weather during the harvest only slightly diminished our expectations of superb quality. Generally speaking, the month that truly determines the quality of a wine is August—or as the French say, "August makes the must".
This wine possesses the finesse, subtlety and charm of the very good vintages along with good overall balance. However, it lacks density and depth. It is very pleasant to drink now, but there is no rush. (February 2025)

After an earlier than normal bud-break, the weather conditions were very favourable for the flowering, which was particularly fast and even. July was very dry but cool ; August was very hot and dry. On 10th September, the quality potential was remarkable. Unfortunately, the harvest was very rainy. (The picking began on 19th September)
