La Montée de l'épine

Vintage 2012 is not going to be a good one for Catherine and Philippe Delesvaux in the Loire Valley. After endless weeks of rain and very low temperatures fungal diseases developed on the vines. Results of this year's crop are very disappointing : only a quarter of the cabernet franc plantation has been saved from water and there is no cabernet sauvignon this year, which did not have a chance to ripen and finally has rotten. No Montée de l'épine 2012! Grapes were not good enough to harvest them and so will serve as birds food this year.
La Montée de l'épine 2011 ,that already taste very good, will be available at the beginning of 2014.
Luckily there is still some of the 2010 available on the market (www.vinovino.pl) so enjoy it!
