En Primeur 2020 is described as “An Extraordinary & Unforgettable Year”
by Christian Seely, Directeur Général AXA Millésimes

“A very rainy winter that built up reserves of water in the soil was followed by a tropical spring that required great vigilance against the danger of mildew. Dry hot sunny conditions permitted a very early flowering in mid-May. Summer was dry and sunny, with occasional peaks of heat, but overall relatively fresh temperatures in spite of the sunshine. In Pauillac, the harvest was early, and of excellent quality, the Merlots harvested in sunshine and outstanding this year, the Cabernets with small berries and relatively low yields harvested at excellent maturity in sometimes rainy conditions, but with no adverse effect on the health of the grapes nor of concentrations. In Sauternes a dry September meant a very late arrival of the Botrytis. Conditions were very good for the dry white wines, which are of excellent quality this year. “
