Le Temps des Récoltes

This exceptional wine is part of our Fine Wine Collection.

Winemaking Merlot is responsible for 70 percent of this blend. It drives the soft profile, spice and full body, while Cabernet Sauvignon brings its signature tannic structure to the table. In order to capture the best of these varieties, we ferment them separately for three weeks before our winemakers skillfully test different proportions to unveil the perfect varietal balance. Before sealing the cork, oak adds a final layer of depth to this rumination-worthy, Right Bank-styled Bordeaux.

Vintage Following a wet winter and spring, the 2020 vintage was exceptionally warm in the vineyards of Bordeaux, accompanied by scattered summer thunderstorms whose rains were welcomed by thirsty roots. Vines woke early in the spring, which set the stage for a long growing season, amplifying rich, dark fruit notes and softening textures in our thick-skinned red grapes. Harvest took place in September, marking the end of another impeccable year for French wine.
