Bruno Borie and the team led by long-time cellar master René Lussau, have produced a magnificent set of 2014s. These are among the wines of the vintage. The 2014s are rich, deep and ample, with striking textures and exceptional overall balance. The combination of early bud break and late harvest led to a vegetative cycle of 120 days, which is quite long. Harvest took place between September 25 and October 15, with yields around 32 hectoliters per hectare. Blends were finalized during the early part of this year. But that is all data. And wine at this level is not about numbers, but rather emotion. There is plenty of that here.
