55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, 2% Petit verdot
From the spring onwards, the 2022 vintage was particularly early, with budburst around 15 March for the Merlot, flowering at the end of May and veraison at the end of July. Several climatic hazards combined with this precocity influenced the vintage: a frost episode on April 3, a hailstorm on June 3 and a dry and hot summer that lasted from the end of May to mid-September.
