Farmed from 82 hectares of vines sitting on Garonne gravel from the first quaternary, settled more than 600 000 years ago
From the Winery:
"2000 is among the precocious years. The half-veraison is 9 days early (on August 6th).
From April to mid August, the vintage seemed to be moderately hot with a surplus of sunshine and humidity. April was hot and very humid. May and June were hot and moderately rainy.
In spite of all this, the flowering was relatively quick and homogenous. July was cool and humid. The first fortnight of August was hot (5 days>30°C) with little rainfall. Quick veraison. A harvest spread over September and beginning of October allowed picking exceptionally healthy grapes."
