A spring with mild temperatures and rainy spells saw the reawakening of the vines at the beginning of April followed by regular plant growth. In June and July, temperatures were slightly below average, leading to the veraison in early August. An August with some very high temperatures, attenuated by various rains, and then a sunny September led to an early ripening of the grapes.

Great elegance supported by aromas that are reminiscent of viola and plums and a well-structured body with soft tannins.
