A rather mild winter on the whole, with a classic budburst around March 20.
Vine development is quite rapid, and fears of spring frosts will be confirmed.
The first fortnight of April, temperatures drop to -4 degrees Celsius on several occasions on certain terroirs. Some losses were noted on an approximate area of 10 hectares.
Thankfully, the month of May was marked by record sunshine, low rainfall and mild temperatures, resulting in a rapid recovery and growth.
The flowering stage is finally early, on 05/31 for the Merlot, 02/06 for the Cabernet Sauvignon, which already presages a harvest before September 15.
June is characterized by a major heat wave with peak temperatures the week of 13 to 20, nearing 40 degrees.
The vines have adapted to the high temperatures that have lasted since May, and the berry skins are thick and free of scald.
The 2022 vintage is in impeccable health, perfect ripeness, the wines are a very deep crimson color, very aromatic and a full, fleshy structure in the mouth.
Surely a wine for immediate pleasure combining very good cellaring.
