The 2020 vintage is particularly marked by a warm climate. The winter is mild, with little rainfall, accompanied by unusually warm temperatures. The budburst is early. The spring, warm and damp, favors an active growth. By contrast, the summer is dry and very hot, slowing down the maturation of the grapes. Fortunately, we receive a series of small stormy rains from mid-August onwards which boosts the ripening of the grapes.<\/p>\n

At harvest time, the berries are beautiful, very healthy and have a remarkable organoleptic quality.\u00a0The wines are rich, aromatic and precise. The vintage is generous and intense.

This exceptionally long and rain-free harvest period allowed us to fine-tune our picking operations.

2017, a year that blew hot and cold\u2026<\/p>\n

Everything started out well. Bud break was even and took place three weeks earlier than usual \u2013harbinger of a good vintage in Bordeaux.<\/p>\n

However, two nights with frost did damage throughout the region, and our estate was not spared.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, the plots located closest to the ch\u00e2teau, and thus not far from the Garonne, were hardly affected.<\/p>\n

The harvest began on the 8th\u00a0of September after a very dry, sunny, and hot month of August.<\/p>\n

This fine weather is reflected in the quality of the wine, as is the expertise of our winemaking team.<\/p>\n

The white wines are delicious, with a great deal of freshness and minerality.<\/p>\n

The reds have a deep colour, lovely aromatics, excellent fruit, and attractive freshness. The wines are smooth, round, and balanced on the palate.<\/p>\n

Due to challenging weather conditions, the 2017 vintage was low in volume. However, the care taken in the vineyard and cellar were rewarded by promising wines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n[\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”small” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Extra-Color-1″ icon_family=”fontawesome” text=”Download the datasheet” url=”\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Technical-details-Quille-blanche-2017.pdf” icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-book”][\/tab][tab icon_family=”none” title=”Vintage 2016″ id=”1750932327799-4″ tab_id=”1750932327799-1″][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]\n

La Quille 2015 has all the freshness of Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris, as well as the concentration and velvety texture of S\u00e9millon. The wine features hints of lemon, grapefruit, peach, and white flowers, as well as minerality typical of the estate\u2019s gravel soil overlaying limestone.<\/em><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”small” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Extra-Color-1″ icon_family=”fontawesome” text=”Download the datasheet” url=”\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Technical-details-Quille-blanche-2015-1.pdf” icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-book”][\/tab][tab icon_family=”none” title=”Vintage 2014″ id=”1750932327829-8″ tab_id=”1750932327830-8″][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]\n
