Vintage Notes: 2019, like every vintage, has its own personality. This has evolved harmoniously, but not without taking us through many kinds of emotions! The spring frost luckily raised more fears than damages. Then flowering was exceptionally uniform, the most spectacular that I have had the good fortune to witness, giving birth to immense optimism. This was then dashed by the rain in June, and the spectre of the downy mildew returned from the previous year to haunt us day and night. Fortunately, this threat remained largely in our imaginations, and the vines and their grapes continued to grow harmoniously through a hot, dry summer and a late season that brought a few welcome showers.
