Another outstanding vintage!
Who would have believed it possible after a 2009 vintage praised to the skies?
The 2010 growing season started out very well, without the threat of vine diseases, which
meant that little spraying was necessary.
Although flowering in Merlot vines was upset by cold, wet weather that led to low yields,
the dry, very sunny weather that followed – but without a heat wave – led to quick véraison
(change of colour of the grape berries) and the onset of ripening. Limited rainfall in
early September, coupled with continued sunshine and high daytime temperatures, were
conducive to perfect ripening of the grape skins and seeds. The juice was highly concentrated
thanks to the small size of the berries.
The wines show considerable aromatic complexity. They are also powerful with a velvety
texture. Although alcohol levels were very high, this was balanced by greater acidity
than in 2009, which bodes well for excellent ageing potential…
