Vintage 2014: 10 years on, an exceptional vintage for French viticulture

Climate conditions for the 2014 vintage: a year of contrasts

Thanks to a capricious but ultimately favorable climate, this year's wines reveal a rare harmony, combining elegance, balance and tannic structure. Ten years on, this vintage remains an example of cellaring, with an ageing potential that continues to impress connoisseurs.
