Vintage benchmark: 89/100 (appellation benchmark, not a score for this wine)
Vintage character: The hot summer pushed ripening along quickly: ripe, round whites, to be drunk young.
Overall reading of the year’s season across Entre-deux-Mers. An estate can depart from it sharply, in frost or hail years, where two neighbours did not make the same vintage. What this particular wine actually gave is on its technical sheet and in the scores above.
Tasting
A garnet colour and a nose of toasted raspberry with spice. The smooth palate enchants us with these fruit aromas. A fine harmony for a wine of great complexity.
