We are surprised by how well this rather difficult vintage has aged well in bottle. The finesse remains, the palate is a little dry but still fresh. However, it should be enjoyed soon. (February 2025)
Climate
The cold and rainy weather during the flowering caused the worst case of "coulure" in history, i.e. preventing the flower from setting into fruit. Summer was quite hot and sunny, but heavy rain in September hampered the ripening of the grapes. Fortunately, the harvesting was carried out in sunshine, which enabled us to bring in sufficiently ripe grapes in this difficult vintage. (The picking began 1st October)
