Le Seuil de Mazeyres 2014

The season got off to a good start with early budbreak. Flowering took place during a dry and sunny June. The summer was more chaotic, cool, and stormy. The vines fell behind schedule, and veraison stretched out over a long period. Beginning in late August, a particularly hot spell set in and lasted long enough to result in an unusually mild late season. Daily temperature ranges were significant and favorable for the ripening of the seeds and skins. As the weather remained dry, the berries developed good concentration.
