WEATHER CONDITIONS

Overall, the 2020 harvest was a success, despite the fact that drought-like conditions persisted throughout the season and average maximum temperatures were slightly higher than in 2019. It should be noted that no precipitation fell during the ripening stage for this vintage.

Despite the capricious weather conditions during the 2020 grape harvest, excellent vineyard management was achieved thanks to the expertise of the Baron Philippe de Rothschild grape growers and winemakers, together with suitable irrigation techniques and correct predictions on harvest dates. In the end, the balance between aromatics, structure, and elegance on the palate showcases the terroir in all its qualities.

WEATHER CONDITIONS

2021 was a good vintage overall.

The weather conditions were very varied, with some precipitation in summer, but without causing too many vine health complications. Temperatures were fairly variable, with a warm January and a cooler than average February and March compared to previous years, followed by a warm April.
Véraison (colour change) stretched over a long period, but it concluded with very even results and the maturation period was slow, conducive to the development of aromas and the concentration of the grapes.

In short, 2021 was not such an easy year weather-wise, yet excellent vineyard management was achieved thanks to the expertise of the Baron Philippe de Rothschild grape growers and winemakers, together with suitable irrigation techniques and choosing to harvest at precisely the right time. In the end, the balance between good structure and elegance on the palate truly showcases the terroir.

WEATHER CONDITIONS

The 2022 vintage presents very favourable conditions to achieve a good ripeness of the clusters. It started with a very cool spring, but then the temperature rose slowly, which was very beneficial to generate a slow ripening, offering high aromatic intensity, high level of concentration and a very good phenolic maturity. This vintage of great potential achieves a perfect expression of the Chilean terroir, the identity of the varieties with good typicity in its aromas, a fine and elegant palate, high level of concentration, and with very good acidity and freshness.
