Maquis Lien Harvest news
The 2005 harvest in Maquis was marked by a long period of absence of rains and by maximum temperatures higher than normal since the flowering period until the end of February. This caused a reduction in the size of grape berries, resulting in more concentrated grapes and a decrease in productions.
From early March onwards temperatures were lower than normal, which allowed us to calmly wait for the optimal ripeness point and to maintain an interesting acidity in Maquis Lien 2005 that gives it good freshness.
Consequently, we had very balanced, high concentrated gapes, with ripe and round tannins that make of the 2005 harvest an exceptional wine harvest.
