Le Rosé

Winter was mild, with the exception of a cool February. The bud break was at the beginning of April, much as in recent years. Spring was marked by two nights of frost – from April the 3rd to the 5th – with no damage to the vines thanks to our protective equipment.

Flowering took place between late May and early June, during a dry, warm period. High temperatures from the 15th of May onwards, combined with heavy rainfall in June (89 mm), led to extremely rapid vine growth. All the green harvesting had to be carried out in just two months instead of the usual three. Despite our best efforts, the Merlot was particularly hard hit by mildew. The Cabernet-Sauvignon and the Petit-Verdot were however spared. The period from late July to early August was rather cool for the season, allowing the vines to slow down, and the grapes to change colour and ripen slowly.
