Weather conditions
The beginning of the year was rainy and wet.
The weather conditions became perfect again at the end of August. Then an Indian summer stretched until the end of October and allowed us to optimize the maturity of the three grape varieties.
The year was particularly successful for the Cabernets Francs.
