2014

昆图斯酒庄

在圣埃美隆葡萄园的缔造者罗马高卢人的语言中,“昆图斯”意为“第五”。 昆图斯乃五方交汇之地:东西南北四方拥抱大地,第五方叩问苍穹。 神谕在此昭示,尘世与自然之间达至平衡。

Tasting notes

The nose displays hints of raspberry, pepper, and spice.
The wine is very smooth and round
on the palate with ripe, full and rich tannins.
The freshness enhances the brilliant fruit,
which goes into an elegant, expressive aftertaste

The climate

2014 was marked by an extraordinary Indian summer that saved the vintage. Fine spring weather was conducive to a good start to the growing season. However, challenging summer conditions seriously slowed down ripening. Fortunately, the month of September was absolutely beautiful, with dry, extremely sunny weather accompanied by highs of close to 30°C. This superb weather, with cool night-time temperatures, enabled the grapes to ripen beautifully, and they were able to be brought into the vat house having reached a perfect level of ripeness.
