Conditions météorologiques

2016 was one of the finest vintages in the past 20 years. Winter was exceptionally wet and mild, and it rained a great deal in spring until June. However, the weather changed radically in mid-June, turning warm and quite dry, with cool nights. Ideal conditions for growing excellent wine grapes!

Dégustation

Clear, brilliant cherry-red colour scattered with ruby highlights. Swirling in the glass showcases this wine in all its intensity and complexity. Light fruity aromas marry beautifully with delicious vanilla and cedar notes, combined with subtle hints of spice. Starts out straightforward on the palate, with a fine tannic structure, going on to reveal a lovely freshness and good length. Cedar aromas once again come to the fore, accompanied by a delicious array of Morello cherry and tangy red fruit notes. This wine is worth ageing for a few more months to fully appreciate its character.
