Private Réserve Bordeaux Red
The vintage
2015 was characterized by a rather late bud break, and rapid, uniform flowering, during the first two weeks of June, in superb conditions, with very low rainfall and slightly above average temperatures. 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.
