A Vintage saved by the months of September and October, which were exceptional.
A summer-like spring and a spring-like summer and an optimal autumn… This, more or less, summarises the Vintage.
The weather conditions in spring, reminiscent of summer, suggested that it would be a relatively early harvest. But a summer, which more resembled spring in character, slowed down the maturity, above all that of Grenache. Autumn, however, enhanced eve-rything, and, ultimately, provided fantastic condi-tions for the harvest.
We got so close to a really Perfect Vintage... A wonderfully fresh July smiled on the Syrah. Unfortunately, rain at the end of August and the beginning of September impacted on what hitherto had been a Vintage of extraordinary potential.
That said, however 2011 remains at a very high level, richly fruited and with good typicity, faithful to Terroirs so admired by Wine Lovers around the whole world.

CépagesSerine Syrah
60-year-old Syrah. Bright crimson. Yes indeed smoked bacon notes and then ripe red fruits on a marked framework. Very sinewy and not nearly ready. A slight hole in the middle.
