Diane de Belgrave - Belgrave Castle - Haut Médoc 2012
With the heavy hydric constraints of this vintage, we have redesigned and adapted the soil and foliar surfaces. We are also lucky to have old vines, which have reacted well to the lack of rain. Fortunately, the summer was warm without being hot, with day / night thermal amplitudes favorable to a smooth maturation. The vineyard has not suffered, and the beautiful month of September brought the grapes to excellent qualities of maturity! The very favorable weather until October allowed a micro-plot harvest, spread over nearly 4 weeks. Our work in the winery wanted to focus on the intensity and elegance of this vintage that can be described as exceptional.
