Lagrave-Martillac White
2022
The 2022 Vintage
The winter was dry and characterized by a significant lack of rainfall and consequently a low waterreserve from the beginning of the season. The Spring was marked by high temperatures from mid-April onwards. The growth of the vine was relatively fast, and the flowering took place in mid-May.
The summer was spectacular and unprecedented in terms of climatic conditions, with several waves of heat (record number of days over 40°C). Veraison started in mid-July, about fifteen days ahead of schedule. The rain during the night of 14 to 15 August (32mm of water in Martillac) were beneficial for the grapes, in particular to finish off the ripening of the white grapes, picked 4 days later, on August18th (2 weeks in advance).
