Grapecap 1884

The very wet winter gave way to a mild and particularly dry spring, with only 40 mm of precipitation in March-April, compared to 70 mm on average. This month of April was marked by several episodes of frost, causing some damage to the earliest plots.

Flowering, at the beginning of June, was particularly uniform. The summer was relatively cool, with the exception of a heat wave at the end of July and mid-August, which led to a slight delay in the veraison.

The white grape harvest began late on September 9th and ended on September 21st. 2021 is the first vintage drived by Edouard Kressmann.

Period of harvest
Harvest of the plot: September 14

Blending :
96% Sémillon ; 3% Muscadelle ; 1% other grape varieties

Tasting notes

Still in its youth, the aromas are discreet. After a few minutes of aeration delicate, sensual and powdery aromas of fresh verbena reveal themselves. A juicy attack on the palate with ripe yellow fruits which develop in complexity with apricot and nuances of almond and lightly toasted hazelnuts. The length and density of the wine characterise this remarkable blend and are expressions of the terroir and unique heritage of old vines.
