Magnificent vines!

At the onset of summer 2016, the vines are magnificent. Following a very dry 2015, we experienced a wet enough winter and spring to replenish our water reserves. Unfortunately, the ambient humidity promoted the development of a few signs of mildew, the common enemy of all the Bordeaux wine growers…. So our vineyard workers had to redouble their efforts, and have succeeded in maintaining a balanced and healthy vineyard. Once again, nature has been good to us; a few days of continuous good weather during the first week of June protected the flowering process. Now all we need is sunshine to lay the groundwork for another great vintage. This wonderful July weather is making us very optimistic!
