Grapecap 1884

The year was marked by very unstable weather at the start of the season, characterized by a hot and humid Spring, which resulted in a constant battle against mildew. Fortunately, the second half of the season was much better, allowing grapes to reach perfect ripeness. In general, Winter was mild, with the exception of a cool February. The bud break was at the beginning of April, much as in recent years. Flowering took place between late May and early June, during a dry, warm period. High temperatures from the 15th of May onwards, combined with heavy rainfall in June, led to extremely rapid vine growth. All the green harvesting had to be carried out in just two months instead of the usual three. The period from late July to early August was rather cool for the season, allowing the vines to slow down, and the grapes to change colour and ripen slowly. The white grape harvest began on the 28th of August with the first plots of Sauvignon Blanc.

Tasting notes

This wine has a pale, luminous colour with golden highlights. The nose is delicate and full of finesse. Dominated by peach and apricot aromas, the nose evolves gradually towards subtle floral notes (hawthorn), giving elegance and complexity to the wine. On the palate, the wine has a rich, round and silky mid-palate. The wine is harmonious and voluptuous, with an elegant freshness on the finish that perfectly balances the richness of the fruit.
