The weather during the growing season, from early April to late September, was the driest since 1949. This water deficit caused dehydration in the vines, concentrating the grape juice and producing the highest values ever measured, particularly in terms of sugar content. The very cool nights promoted the accumulation of anthocyanins, so the 2010 red wines are the deepest-colored in recent years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mb-0 note1 show\"\u003eExpert tasting note: (2010 vintage) \"Opaque, inky purple\/black, holding its colour well to the rim. Restrained, subtle aromas contain concentrated notes of cassis, blackberry, dried-fruit, mocha and cedar. Very tightly structured with very dense but refined tannins that are surprisingly supple. The concentrated fruit is reminiscent of Christmas pudding, with additional notes of mocha, cedar \u0026amp; other savoury elements.

His descendants went on to produce “New French Claret”, the precursor of today’s great red wines. Their efforts enabled Arnaud III de Pontac to sell his wine under the estate’s name as early as 1660. It gained a fine reputation and enormous success in London.
