70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, 10% Mourvèdre
The winter, mild and not very rainy, was followed by a long spring, cool and full of rain. Budding occurred normally, between March 20th and 25th, as did all the subsequent vegetative phases. Veraison began in mid-July, in a hot but generally not scorching summer, apart from the peaks recorded around August 20th.
The harvest, manual and early, began on August 25th for the Merlot, to resume on September 7th with the Cabernet Franc and conclude the following day with the Mourvèdre.
