A dry and mild winter initiated a quick start in vegetation. Heavy rainfall in May and June halted the momentum, but did not cause any significant disruption to flowering. The coulure wasn’t too important. The water reserves thus constituted, associated with a very hot summer, allowed for good and regular ripening. The veraison took place between August 1st and 15th.
The harvest began in mid-September. Despite a stormy episode and thanks to the know-how of the winemakers, the grapes were returned and sent for fermentation in very good quality and sanitary conditions.
The whites are remarkably aromatic, on citrus fruits.
The reds are colourful, fresh and crisp, fruity. Finely structured, they have a lot of freshness and a more pronounced structure than in 1991.
A beautiful and balanced vintage, which has reached its bloom.
