"At Château Desmirail, we always wait for our Cabernet Sauvignon like a diva, ensuring it reaches perfect ripeness. The 2014 vintage was exceptional, with the fine weather of September and October providing the ideal conditions for full maturity. The Merlots were generous, and the Cabernets, with their balanced elegance, promised a wine of great finesse. It's a vintage we can proudly celebrate." - Eric Boissenot, Winemaker.
