Bordeaux 2020 - En Primeur
Following the release of the superb 2019 Bordeaux En Primeur last year, we are pleased to share our range of En Primeur 2020.
2020 was a warm vintage, but without the excesses of 2018 and 2015. In terms of production, similarities have been drawn to the 2016, 2018 and 2019 growing seasons, but while 2016 delivered a sizeable crop and both 2018 and 2019 hit the 10-year average, 2020’s final yield is about 10% lower than the two years that preceded it.
The heatwave at harvest has benefited the vineyards of the Right Bank, where the early ripening Merlot appears to have delivered majestic wines of imposing stature and long-ageing potential. Saint Emilion and Pomerol might be the regions where we can find the strongest runner-up for "wine of the vintage”.
