1995
1995 is a truly great vintage displaying all the hallmark characteristics: power, depth, richness, complexity, subtlety and harmony. Today the nose is not exactly closed, but still rather restrained. The aromas are present, though somewhat veiled. On the palate, it is obviously the power that dominates; the tannic structure is dense, tight and firm without being hard. Ideally, this superb wine should be given a few more years before opening. Its balance promises a beautifully harmonious evolution. (October 2025)
Climate
After a very mild winter, the bud-break and flowering were early and even. The whole summer was one of a great vintage: hot and very dry. The quite heavy rain that arrived in the middle of September was without doubt of benefit to the ripening of the grapes. The weather was then superb throughout the harvest. (The picking began on 15th September).
