Vintage on the freshness with moderate alcoholic degrees. 2013 is one of the latest vintage of these last 30 years, reminding us the maturities of the 1980's years. This vintage is characterized by low yields and by atypical balances where the fruit wins on the power. Indeed, the spring 2013 is part of the coldest and wettest springs of these last years resulting in the delay of the vegetative, up to a couple of weeks. The blooming was disturbed by strong temperature variations and resulted in an important flower abortion on Grenache.The meteorological conditions of the 2013 summer were good but insufficient to catch up the time lost in spring.

The alcoholic and malolactic fermentations quickly ended giving good balance to the wine with beautiful acidities, with moderate alcoholic degrees and with a grenache on the fruit. White wines present a beautiful aromatic and gustative freshneses with a good potential of ageing. 2013 is a vintage with low yield, on freshness and with moderate alcoholic degrees.This wine presents a magnificent brilliant dress, of velvet red color. The nose is fine and discreet but nevertheless present, marked by the plum jam and by the crushed strawberry. Very attractive smooth mouth, on light undergrowth marks, on red berries compote, associated with star anise and light tobacco marks.

這款葡萄酒展現出了清新的年份特色，酒精度適中。 2013年是過去30年中最晚的年份，讓我們回想起20世紀80年代成熟度的時光。這個年份的特徵是產量較低，而果味佔據了主導地位。事實上，2013年的春天是過去幾年中最寒冷、最潮濕的春天之一，導致植物生長遲緩，延遲了幾週。蓋諾葡萄的開花受到了溫度變化的干擾，導致大量花朵脫落。 2013年夏天的氣候條件良好，但無法彌補春季失去的時間。

酒精發酵和乳酸發酵迅速結束，使酒保持了良好的平衡，具有美麗的酸度，適度的酒精度和富有果味的葡萄酒。白葡萄酒呈現出美麗的芳香和口感的新鮮感，並具有良好的陳年潛力。 2013年是產量較低、以新鮮度為主、酒精度適中的年份。這款葡萄酒呈現出華麗的亮紅色外觀。香氣細膩而含蓄，但依然存在，帶有李子醬和壓碎草莓的味道。口感非常迷人，帶有輕微的林下氣息，紅漿果煮果醬的味道，伴隨著八角和輕微的煙草香氣。
