Vine ripening was about 3 weeks behind 2017. The first days of August saw a sharp rise in temperature, with August 4th being the hottest day of the 21st century (to date). Grape ripening continued slowly throughout September. Due to the imposed water stress, the plants produced musts with low alcohol content and good phenolic ripeness, exhibiting considerable complexity and lightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e After a selection in the vineyard, a second selection was made at the sorting table.
