Tastings are carried out all over the Bordeaux region to find the most successful wines of the year with a view to creating blends in the tradition of the finest Bordeaux that favour balance over woodiness. The wines selected are mainly from the Entre-Deux-Mers.

More Details:
2016 has been a remarkable vintage in the Bordeaux region, reminiscent of the legendary 1990 in terms of both quantity and quality! It was a challenging year for winegrowers, with a very wet start to the growth cycle (800 mm of rain over the first six months of the year), a very dry period from 1 July to 13 September, and finally localized thunderstorms and a beautiful Indian summer that enabled the grapes to reach optimal ripeness.
The red wines are rich, smooth and fruity, with tannins of a rarely obtained maturity and very deep colours. The warm nights during the second half of August were less favourable for the white grapes. However, in the Entre-deux-Mers region where we select our white wines, the cooler terroirs produced perfect balances of alcohol and acidity, and very exuberant aromas.
