The year 2016 started off with the water tables full thanks to the heavy rainfall from January to March. Three difficult months for the vineyard workers but which saved the day for this vintage! The mild temperatures in March ensured an early budburst but the colder rainy mornings in April slowed down the growth cycle.From mid-June to midOctober rainfall was well below the seasonal average. During the first two weeks of August the colour change was short and even on each of the properties. The grapes developed in radiant dry weather conditions. Light showers appeared in mid-September to re-boost the ripening process on the terroirs offering less water retention thus perfecting the maturation of the tannins. The absolutely perfect weather conditions during harvest time allowed us to pick grapes boasting remarkable quality. – Chateau Potensac *93-94/100 James Suckling *90-92/100 Robert Parker The Wine Advocate
