The vintage of 2023 in Bordeaux was marked by unpredictable weather conditions and challenges. The winter was typical, with cold temperatures and sufficient rainfall. Spring brought fears of frost and mildew outbreaks, affecting some vineyards more than others.

Despite these challenges, the summer brought relief with moderate temperatures and a late August heatwave, allowing for the ripening of grapes. The harvests were long and rhythmic, with some delays due to rainfall in September.

Overall, the vintage showed promise with beautiful aromatic freshness, moderate alcohol levels, and a successful Sauternes harvest.
