Vintage history

This vintage, shaped by severe spring frosts and significant mildew pressure that limited the harvest, came into its own during September and October.

A fine, dry, sunny, and cool end to the season resulted in wines with delightful aromas of fresh red fruit and supple tannins, complemented by a refreshing acidity.

Andreas Larsson – 89/100

Medium deep ruby red colour. Pure nose, delicate red fruit, plum and wild herbal notes with mild oak. Medium weight, supple texture with savoury red fruit, grainy tannin, well built with a fine length.

Wine Enthusiast – 88/100

Ripe and fruity, this wine is soft and full of berry flavors. With its black fruits and very succulent character, this wine will be ready to drink soon.

Pascal Poussevin

The wine showcases an intense ruby hue, deep and lively, with striking violet reflections. On the nose, vibrant fruity aromas of raspberry, cherry, and blackberry are enriched by subtle spicy notes. The palate is supple, round, and pleasantly fleshy, offering good volume, freshness, and silky tannins that extend gracefully into a long, fruit-forward finish.
