Our privileged terror escaped the spring
frost! After a relatively dry winter,
spring weather was very beautiful and
bud break particularly early. Flowering
took place under ideal conditions.
Unfortunately, Bordeaux was hit by a
frost in late April, the worst since 1991,
with disastrous results. However, our
terror were totally spared, which enabled
the vines to continue growing and for the
grapes to ripen well. The great diurnal
temperature variation at the end of the
growing season was conducive to good colour in the grapes.
«We are aware that we are very fortunate to be among those
estates that were totally spared by a terrible climatic
accident. We were therefore able to produce a generous
crop of good, homogeneous quality. The wines are concentrated,
deeply-coloured, and aromatic, with beautiful balance – wines
that have nothing to be ashamed of when compared to the
outstanding 2015s and 2016s...»Ludovic & Julien Meffre - March 2018

我們得天獨厚的風土躲過了春天的霜凍！經過一個相對乾燥的冬天
，春天的天氣非常漂亮，芽萌特別早。開花是在理想的條件下進行
的。不幸的是，波爾多在4月下旬遭遇了霜凍，這是1991年以來最
嚴重的一次，造成了災難性的後果。然而，我們的區哉完全沒有受
到影響，這使得葡萄藤能夠繼續生長，葡萄也能很好地成熟。
生長季末的晝夜溫差很大，有利於葡萄的良好色澤。 «我們知道我
們很幸運能免除於成為那些因可怕的氣候事故而完全被燒毀的莊園
之一。因此，我們能夠生產大量優質、均質的作物。這些葡萄酒濃
度高、顏色深、香氣濃郁、平衡而優美——與傑出的2015和2016年份
相比，這些葡萄酒沒有什麼看低的……»Ludovic & Julien Meffre - 2018年3月
