Château Rahoul - Graves - 2014
After a promising start to the year, the gloomy summer slows the beginning of maturation. The worry dissipates at the end of August, with the arrival of an exceptional and lasting weather. The quality of this vintage owes much to the beautiful late season, but it would not reach this level without the enormous work done in the vineyard upstream to ensure the perfect health and beauty of the fruit. Summer, which finally arrives on August 27 and settles until the end of October, revives the maturation of the dominant Merlot at Château Rahoul, and provides the best conditions for the evolution of Cabernets. The beautiful red grapes benefit from pre- and post-fermentation macerations, in order to enhance their aromas and their tannic, ripe and silky material.
