July was very hot and dry with temperatures approaching heatwave levels between 30 june and 6 july and 20 mm of rain much like 2010. The onset of ripening (late july/early august) was fast and uniform. August and september suffered from cloudy spells whose effects on the vines varied enormously from region to region. The result was a very good vintage in bordeaux. Tasting notes (at bottling) colour: deep purple.

It was a fairly challenging year for winegrowers with a very wet start to the growth cycle (800 mm of rain over the first six months of the year) a very dry period from 1 july to 13 september and finally localized thunderstorms and a beautiful indian summer that enabled the grapes to reach optimal ripeness. Excluding the areas affected by frost hail or outbreaks of mildew and in contrast to the rest of france’s vineyards overall yields this year in bordeaux were the highest since 201
