Diane de Belgrave - Castle Belgrave - Haut Médoc 2011
With the strong water constraints of this vintage, we have rethought and adapted the work of the soils and the foliar surfaces. We are also fortunate to have old vines, which have reacted well to the lack of rain. Fortunately, the summer was warm without being scorching, with thermal amplitudes day / night favorable to a maturation all smooth. The vineyard has not suffered, and the beautiful September has brought the grapes to excellent qualities of maturity! The weather very favorable until October allowed a vintage micro-plot, very spread out over almost 4 weeks. Our work in the cellar wanted to emphasize the intensity and elegance of this vintage that can be described as exceptional.
