Harvest
The harvest began on September 13th with the picking of a superb plot of young Merlot. The remaining Merlot was picked between the 18th and 23rd, followed by the Cabernet Franc on the 25th, and the Cabernet Sauvignon from September 27th to October 5th. Thanks to the careful work on each vine during the year, all the picked fruit was healthy, aromatic and perfectly ripe.
Tasting notes
The 2006 vintage has very deep colour, an intense fruity character and, to our delight, an impressive tannic structure. The Merlot is smooth and the Cabernet Sauvignon is powerful. This vintage will undoubtedly be well-balanced, silky, and elegant. In short: a great wine and a credit to its terroir.
