“It was a tough vintage all year round,” I was told at the estate. “September and October saved us, but yields are only around 29hL/ha. I think the final result is above my own expectations. The fact is that we are organic. Biodynamics (over the entire vineyard - due for organic certification in 2022) helped us a lot as we were more intimate with the vineyard and we tasted the berries constantly. It forced us to examine the vines closely. There is a high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon (84%) due to a re-grafting of Merlot vines to Cabernet Sauvignon, which now nearly all enters the Grand Vin. Therefore, future vintages will have a similar blend with much more Cabernet Sauvignon than before. We had to be cautious with everything. We don’t use the same recipe. During extraction we had to be very prudent.”
