2014 vintage, is on the continuity of 2013 vintage, offering beautiful wines with freshness. This vintage started with mild rainy winter, allowing the hydric reserves have been reconstituted, followed by a hot and dry spring (1°C warmer than the average). All the parameters were combined to decide to move forward the harvests. Because of a summer punctuated with rains, fresh nights and less sun than the averages of the season, 2014 vintage losts of its precocity to become one of the latest vintages. Some rains occurred at the end of the harvests, requiring more vigilance on the sorting.

White wines have beautiful acidities, offering wines on tensions. 2014 leads us to predict a good potential of ageing for those who will have the patience to keep them enough time.

2014年的葡萄酒延續了2013年的風格，提供了具有新鮮感的美妙葡萄酒。這個年份以溫和多雨的冬季開始，使水分儲備得以補充，接著是一個炎熱而乾燥的春季（比平均溫度高1°C）。所有的條件都決定了提前收穫。由於夏季有雨水，夜晚涼爽，陽光較少，2014年的葡萄酒失去了其早熟性，成為較晚的年份之一。收穫結束時發生了一些降雨，需要更警覺地進行篩選。
