A tough vintage here. This estate suffered from the frost, resulting in a total yield of 29hl/ha from the parts of the vineyard that didn't freeze - but that was just 3ha out of the estate's 10.7ha. It means a higher proportion of Petit Verdot than usual has been used, as those plots (first harvested in 2014) were not frosted. The wine is intense and the colour promising, but those fruit flavours are not ripe enough to carry the firm, tannic structure, leaving it a little stranded and exposed. In organic conversion, expected for 2020.
