Autumn at Domaine du Deffends

Year 2012 has been difficult at Domaine du Deffends. Extreme climate changes, from torrential rain to worrying drought, from the coldest to the hottest days, hail, frost...And yet nature is strong, after burning hot summer we can now admire green grass brought back by the autumn rains.
In the cellar the wines from harvest 2012 are now finished, winification went without any problems.
For the first time wines from 2012 vintage will have "vin bio" that is organic wine status rather than just "wine made from organically grown grapes". That change has been brought by European Community that finally reached an agreement to establish a charter regulating the winemaking in Europe.
