Carmes de Rieussec
Vintage 2009
The beginning of the growth cycle had been a tricky period. The technical team had to be particularly vigilant in order to protect the vines.
Fine and stable weather returned in June but conditions became drought like, interspersed in July, August and September with welcome periods of light rain. Daily hot temperatures combined with fairly cool nights enabled slow ripening.
Tasting note (at bottling):
Expressive fruit & delightful wine. A very good finish.
The wine still needs to be kept in cellar for a few years.
