2011 Vintage wine

The 2011 vintage, a contrasting but satisfying vintage

The 2011 vintage suffered from capricious weather in Bordeaux with a dry inter and a very hot spring. The result is an early harvest ith lower yields. The best reds present a beautiful elegance in particular the château Mouton Rothschild 2011, the Château Margaux 2011, the Château Cos d'Estournel 2011...

The Sauternes are of average quality. However, a few châteaux stand out like the Château Guiraud 2011 and Château d’Yquem 2011.

In Burgundy, the 2011 vintage is generally good. Marked by drought, producers had to adapt in order to save the harvest. The Richebourg and Romanée Saint Vivant appellations still offer very great wines.

Taking advantage of sunshine during the months of September and October, the 2011 Rhône wines are good and of medium aging. The champagne of 2011 vintage are considered very successful and perfectly balanced. We are talking about a very good vintage.
