Castle of Ricaud - Dourthe - Loupiac 2014
After a promising start to the year, the sultry summer slows the beginning of maturation. The anxiety disappears at the end of August, with the arrival of an exceptional and lasting weather. The quality of this vintage owes much to the superb after-season, but it would not reach this level without the enormous work carried out in the vineyard upstream to ensure the perfect health and beauty of the fruit. The Sémillon has benefited from this beautiful weather. Noble rot has progressed steadily, we harvested in three tries, spread out over three weeks, well-botrytised grapes. A superb vintage of Loupiac!
