Château de Cérons ‘Cérons’ 2020

Vintage:
The 2020 vintage is notably characterised by a warm climate, with a summer starting mid-June, with very little rainfall in July and August. This particularly hot weather has lasted well into the end of September, allowing the grapes to reach maturity by late August. Noble rot finally developed with the arrival of the rainy weather end of September, enabling the first harvest selections to begin.
The Château de Cérons’s team had to put a great deal of attention and patience over six weeks, with higher-than-average rainfall allowing only rare dry spells favourable for concentration. A perfect reflection of a precise and complete vintage.
Tasting notes:
With a very citrusy, fresh nose featuring aromas of quince jam, this Château de Cérons 2020 offers a voluptuous palate marked by the gentle bitterness of candied lemon and mirabelle plum, finishing on a refreshing note. The wines are balanced and complex.
