1989: a great year
Vintage year review :
In 2 words, this vintage year is generous and fruty. Flowering started at the begining of May. Temperatures were high all-year-long and even July-storms were without any consequences. The Harvest was very good, in big quantities. Grapes were quite well-balanced without too much acidity. The vintage year is complex, fleshy and charming.
Tasting advice:
Drink it now and enjoy their richness.
