Product Description
An exceptionally long period of drought during spring and summer. Water stress has resulted in grapes in the most affected plots not maturing as expected. The fruit, picked at early maturity, gave wines with high acidity and moderate alcohol levels. Surprisingly, a balance on the fruit is achieved, with fresh and elegant tannins.

Winemaking and ageing
The average yield is 30hl/ha.The grapes of each plot are vinified separately. Depending on the vintage, part of the harvest is not destemmed. The juices are vinified using natural yeasts for 4 to 5 weeks in cement tanks. The ageing is carried out in old French oak demi-muids during 12 months.
