Millésime & notes de dégustation

Caractéristiques du millésime

The 2020 vintage in Bordeaux was characterised by a succession of climatic contrasts. Winter and spring were mild and wet, with temperatures among the highest of the century, triggering budbreak two to three weeks early. Flowering occurred in late May under warm, dry conditions. From mid-June, the weather shifted towards intense drought and heat, with three heatwave periods between June and mid-August. This period of water stress concentrated the berries but severely tested the vines. Timely rains in mid-August refreshed the Left Bank and Saint-Émilion vineyards, allowing the grapes to perfect their ripeness. Harvest took place under ideal conditions in September, before October rains. The vintage, third in a trilogy with 2018 and 2019, is distinguished by its classical balance, freshness and mineral tension.

Notes de dégustation

The 2020 displays a deep purple hue with ruby-garnet reflections. The nose unfolds with remarkable intensity, offering aromas of ripe black cherries, blackcurrant and black raspberries, enriched by nuances of smoked tobacco, damp earth, pencil shavings and bitter dark chocolate. Hints of violet, sandalwood, smoked black tea and exotic spices add captivating complexity. On the palate, the wine reveals full body and impressive density, with successive layers of black and red fruits carried by bright acidity and firm, powdery, remarkably fine tannins. The structure is elegantly muscular, the brooding fruit framed by a generous endowment of silky tannins that tempers the ripeness of the vintage. The finish stretches long, persistent and fragrant, with mineral notes and a sensation of tension that distinguishes this vintage. Despite its 14.7% alcohol, the wine remains classical in style, more restrained than the flamboyant 2019.
