The vintage
- At last ! Following several vintages hit by serious hailstorms (2012,13,14) 2015 started with mild, dull but early march fair conditions. Several dry and sunny periods and rainfalls at the right time accompanied paced the development of vegetation ; hot summer, the grapes were ripe and sound by the 1st of september for a great harvest. The grapes were gold in colour, perfect ripeness ! the wines are pure and elegant, well balanced and pleasantly rich on the palate.
