A rather cool spring, with a lot of rain, especially in May and June, slowed the start of the vines’ growth cycle and produced a delicate flowering with light, not very numerous clusters. Much hotter, drier weather arrived in July and August. However, the grapes still ripened somewhat later than usual due to the oceanic climate in September. The harvests did not start until October. Rigorous plot selection and careful sorting of the grapes enabled the achievement of a very satisfactory level of quality. The yield of 30hl/ha was the property’s lowest since the frosts in 1991.

Beautiful crimson colour, tinged with dark purple. Very fresh notes of red fruit (plums, blackcurrants and cherries), with a floral nuance of violets, and a delicately woody hint of caramel, vanilla and liquorice on nose. The attack is fresh, the palate is then quite soft, with a rather light tannic structure and very good, well-defined, persistent fruit on the finish. The 2013 vintage has a moderate potential to age of around 6 years, it can be enjoyed while still young from 2015-2016 onwards.

70% Merlot & 30% Cabernet Sauvignon.
