Moulin d'Issan - Bordeaux Superieur 2015 750ml
"A delightful spring and exceptional flowering.
Thanks to the mild spring, followed by an incredibly warm and sunny month of June, flowering during the last week of May took place quickly and very evenly.
A splendid summer, hot and dry.
The hot and dry month of July confirmed the potential of the vintage. Despite some peaks in temperature, this did not stress the vines due to lack of water. The abundant rains in winter had supplied ample water in reserve to see the vineyard through the hot weather. Conditions were totally normal throughout the month of August. The mid-point of veraison was reached during the first week of August. The weather in September was especially favorable for both Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon at the critical time of maturation. The chemical analysis on the 7th of September showed that the Merlot was at exactly the same level as it had been in 2009, and the Cabernet Sauvignon exceeded all expectations.
A seamless harvest.
Harvest took place under brilliant sunshine and was calm and stressless. The berries were ripe and juicy with tight skins generously packed with fruit. The tannins were silky and refined." -Chateau d'Issan
