Adaptability and dedication were key to a successful 2023 vintage!
\nWinter was slightly cooler than the previous year, followed by a warmer spring allowing bud break\nto unfold in late March. After this early warmth, unusually cooler spells ensued, accompanied by\nsporadic and often heavy rainfall which significantly increased the threat of mildew.\nFlowering occurred in summerlike conditions which were particularly conducive to fruit set. Early\nv\u00e9raison (colour change) in mid-July gave way to an unsettled August (starting cool before turning\nvery hot).
\nSummer temperatures proved a godsend, allowing the grapes to reach optimum ripeness.
\n\u201cIn light of these difficult weather conditions, our ability to adapt played a decisive role in producing\na good 2023 vintage. It is a generous vintage, which benefited from excellent ripening conditions,\nonce again showing the resilience of the vines in the face of extreme weather conditions.\nThe resulting wines are deeply-coloured, with a wonderful aromatic intensity and ripe fruit notes.\nThey are rich yet not excessively so and perfectly well-balanced!\u201d<\/p>\n
