Lacroix-Martillac Pessac-Leognan, Bordeaux 2016
A mild and very wet winter led to an early and even budbreak. The wet weather lasted all the way through Spring
accompanied by some very cool temperatures. Miraculously, full flowering took place between the 7th and the 11th of June
which was a 5-day period of lovely weather and relatively hot temperatures. These conditions encouraged a quick and
uniform flowering followed by a good return of fruit. The midpoint of the colour change of the berries happened around the
10th of August, with excellent uniformity across all the grape varieties. Despite these unpredictable swings of Nature; the heat
and the absence of rain, the vines could maintain a healthy foliage right up to the beginning of the harvest thanks both to the
water reserves and to the ploughing of the plots. Harvesting started 8 days late. Light showers at the beginning of September
and a lovely Indian summer during the picking meant that all the grape varieties achieved perfect ripeness and a healthy
condition placing the 2016 vintage among the great vintages.
