Domaine de Baronarques 2020

The wine is crystal-clear with green highlights.

The refined and elegant nose reveals pear and tropical fruit aromas together with hints of nutmeg and puff pastry.

The clean and fresh attack leads into a generous, full-bodied and voluptuous mid-palate on notes of honey and acacia blossom, building to a long, lingering and very harmonious finish.

After a particularly mild and wet winter, budbreak occurred on 29 March, within the average for the last ten years. The vine growth cycle began in warm and very wet spring weather which encouraged vegetation growth and replenished water reserves in the soil.
Flowering then took place slightly earlier than usual and very rapidly, from 20 to 26 May, in good conditions. Summer set in quickly from 10 June, bringing a period of very dry weather (a dry wind and 33 days with temperatures over 33° C) until 28 August, with the temperature reaching a maximum of 37.6° C on 8 August. The drought caused veraison to start promptly, on 21 July, heralding an early harvest. In the earliest white grape harvest in the estate’s history, picking started on 24 August in the most advanced parcel and took only ten days. Very fine early autumn weather meant that we were able to bring in the grapes at optimum maturity and in excellent condition.
