The 2019 vintage unfolded under favourable conditions in Bordeaux, though growers remained cautious throughout the season. Weather shifts—never dramatic but always possible—required constant attention at every stage of the vine’s development. In the end, the climate proved gentler than during the three preceding years, allowing a vintage shaped by observation, adaptation… and balance.
RED
WINes
Merlot harvesting began in mid‑September in the earliest‑ripening parcels, gathering pace between 23 and 27 September before extending to Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The overall quality of 2019 is unmistakable, with excellent potential across the board.
In their youth, the reds show suppleness, balance and moderate alcohol. Their structure promises solid ageing capacity. In the glass, they reveal a striking deep red colour—dense yet bright.
DRY WHITE
WINES
2019 stands out as an exceptional year for dry whites. The wines display beautiful balance, plenty of freshness and a vibrant acidity.
Harvesting for dry whites and white Crémants began at the end of August in early‑ripening Sauvignon parcels, then broadened during the first week of September. A clean, early picking that preserves tension, clarity and aromatic precision.
SWEET WHITE
WINES
Botrytis arrived late in the season. From the second week of October, growers were finally able to harvest superb grapes—pure, elegant and carried by a lovely freshness.
The harvest, conducted entirely by hand, moved quickly and required significant labour in a short window. A tight, meticulous pace that underpins the poised balance of the wines.
ROsé AND CLAIRET
WINES
The rosés stand out for their crystalline profile—fine, fruit‑driven and marked by impressive length.
The clairets, with their vivid raspberry colour, share this fresh, luminous expression of the vintage, delivering fruit and clarity in equal measure.
