Despite plenty of winter rain refilling the water reserves - including a huge 400mm within 48 hours in November 2012 - the vines were showing the effects of two dry vintages and produced low yields in 2013. The last grapes were in the winery by 4 October. 'The vines were so tired in 2012 they didn't give us much yield,' says enologist Matthieu Taunay, but the low-yields and resulting concentration produced a wine of great quality. Fresh, elegant and floral. it's a fleshy, ripe expression with a balance of concentration and structure with fresh acidity and gorgeous red and black fruits. A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cabernet Franc, 15% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, matured in French oak barrels (60% new) for 20 months.
