Harvest
Tasting notes
The wine has an attractive colour with a brickish tint and a nose that opens on aromas of leather, spice and cedarwood.
Elegant, it offers well-integrated, substantial tannins and remains surprisingly fresh.
Weather conditions
A cold winter was followed by a mild spring which encouraged early growth of the vine.
A frost on 21 April caused considerable damage but Château Mouton Rothschild, Château d’Armailhac and Château Clerc Milon were spared thanks to their favourable situation.
The crop matured well in a fine, hot summer and the harvest began under excellent conditions.
