Chateau La Garde - Pessac Léognan - 2013
At Chateau La Garde, the management of the vigor and the water regime of the plots has been well controlled thanks to the meticulous soil works and the numerous and targeted green works, optimizing maturation. The practice of a viticulture reasoned for many years, and the excellent knowledge of the terroirs of the property, allowed to face a tense situation in the vineyard throughout the season - exceptional rain and freshness on the flower, hail storms in summer - and ensure a nice harvest in the context of this difficult vintage. The whites have resisted this aggressive weather, taking advantage of the freshness of the vintage. The harvest starts on September 19th, from the unprecedented until then at Château La Garde!
