Climate
Following a rather chilly winter, the 2009 viticultural campaign is remarkable with a rainy start of the season and a very dry end of the season: April and May saw copious showers, August and September were very dry. Paradoxically, the plant evolved without a jolt, flowering was fast and steady and veraison was homogeneous.
The swing towards the great vintage year happens within the 20 celsius amplitude, between August and September days and nights.
In these conditions, maturing is continuous, taking full advantage of the drought rather than suffering from it. The climate remains summery up to early October.

Tasting notes
Dark red, unclouded and bright. Powerful and straightforward attack. Nose of chocolate powder, blackcurrant, stones. Slightly toasted oaky notes. Full structure with a round and tight grain. Black cherry and blueberry aromas. A very long final.
