Vintage year review :
The harvest started the 31st of August, which is the earliest harvest equally with 2007. The reason is that the spring had been very early too. The harvest had been done with a beautiful sunshine and the maturity was here. Unfortunately, the yield was really low.
Tasting advice:
It is a versatile vintage, made for pleasure. August’s sunlight brought a beautiful fruity touch to our wines.
The Harvest in 2011.

That year in the world…
