THE 2016 VINTAGE AT CHÂTEAU D'ESTOUBLON At Château d'Estoublon, the winter was rather mild and punctuated by moderate rains. Late spring was cooler than average, slightly delaying flowering, which took place May 23-28. The mistral blew particularly throughout the year, which, combined with a significant water deficit, helped protect the vineyard from disease. Veraison took place in mid-August. The hot, dry summer, without much rain, was enough for the grapes to reach full maturity. The harvest thus began in excellent sanitary conditions.
