Winery Notes
As often in the case of great vintages, there are great fears. 2018 was no exception!
We first trembled before the episodes of frost and hail, then before the pressure of mildew
which was strong. With a spring as wet and rainy, it was necessary to be vigilant. This year
the prophylactic fight with particularly early stripping puts everyone at work.
This difficult period passed, gave place to a radiant summer, with short and rare showers,
conferring on the vine a hydric stress which gave us very aromatic and concentrated small
grapes. The veraison was rapid and uniform. The result was a superb quality of harvest, we
could wait for a perfect maturity and thus obtain an exceptional homogeneity.
In the end, we obtained wines with a superb touch, structure, volume, both fine and
powerful.
