Product Description
THE CLIMATE OF 2011
After a significantly delayed 2010 vintage, 2011 was marked by very hot, dry weather, which brought on an
earlier than average harvest.
A rainy winter was followed by a warmer than normal spring, bringing forward the start of the vine growth
cycle by as much as 10 days. Budbreak was particularly rapid and even, which, as experience shows, is a very
hopeful sign of a great vintage. Growth was then slowed by cooler conditions in June and July. The rain came
at the right time: after flowering and during ‘veraison’, which favoured optimal cluster development. A surge of
heat in late August further encouraged the ripening process, bringing the start of harvest to the last week in
August. September’s weather was sunny and rainless with perfect conditions yielding concentrated grapes with
an ideal balance between ripe tannins, crisp acidities, and rich, ripe aromas. Exceptionally, harvesting
concluded in the final days of September.
