Conditions météorologiques

The 2017 vintage was one of the earliest on record. The growing season was marked by a dry winter and spring (46% less rainfall than usual), accompanied by temperatures 2°C above average (except for the frost in April). This dry summer weather was ideal for ripening the seeds until late August.

Dégustation

A lovely red colour, full of promise, reminiscent of cherry.
The nose is discreet, opening up gradually in the glass. The first nose reveals slightly woody notes (cedar). After a little aeration, notes of red fruit (cherry) gradually emerge gradually reveal themselves. Subtle hints of spices crown the whole.
On the palate, this wine has a straightforward attack, with tension but without aggressiveness. The tannins are powerful and racy, with a particularly successful finish. The notes of red fruit (cherries), full of gourmet, are again quite distinct.
