1978
1978 was the first vintage to benefit both from the consulting of Emile Peynaud and from very careful, precise vinification in barrel. The best bottles still have a wonderful freshness, which is reflected in their almost unchanged colour. Of course, the aromas have developed and bear the mark of this long ageing in bottle, but it is astonishing to find so much vivacity in a sauvignon blanc wine after so many years. To be enjoyed now.

Climate
The time lost through a particularly cool and wet spring was never made up during the summer, but an exceptional Indian summer enabled sufficiently ripe grapes to be picked in perfectly healthy condition. (The picking began on October 9th)
