Description
James and Omri Ram, the winemaker at Chateau Lafleur, discuss Bordeaux's 2019 vintage."2019 is a very coherent vintage, clearly marked by dry conditions and by sun. These for me are clearly the two markers of the vintage," Omri said. "Almost no rain, winter is mild so not a real winter in our lexicon. Spring was early and the soil warmed up quickly so we had this early bud break – a good indication for something quite promising."Omri said Chateau Lafleur didn't get as much rain as some of the other Bordeaux estates in 2019 because the precipitation in the area was very localized. But he added that when rains did come, they were "very welcome" because of the refreshing effect they had on the vineyards.
