A generous vintage : a faithful reflection of its climatic conditions

The 2023 vintage expressed the uniqueness of each plot, shaped by its climatic conditions.

A 2023 vintage without climatic excess

The 2023 growing season unfolded without climatic extremes, except for August 23rd and 24th, when temperatures peaked at 40°C. Rainfall was regular throughout the year, with slightly above-average precipitation in August (65 mm), which greatly benefited the smooth progression of grape maturation. However, the rise in average temperatures confirms the established trend of climate warming observed in recent vintages.

Classic phenology


Budburst occurred in a very typical manner: late March for Merlot, early April for Cabernet Franc. A cold spell set in early April but caused no frost damage. Flowering, noted around May 28th, took place under very favorable climatic conditions, leading to relatively generous yields. Mid-véraison occurred on July 22nd for Merlot and July 29th for Cabernet Franc, and was quite uniform. The foliage, protected from mildew and excessive water stress, remained remarkable even beyond harvest, ensuring good reserve accumulation. The harvest took place from September 6th to October 3rd under particularly favorable conditions.

Managed mildew pressure


2023 was marked by significant mildew pressure. In late June and early July, symptoms of brown rot appeared regularly on Merlot. Fortunately, the very dry July weather (25 mm of rain) slowed the disease’s development. Damage remained minimal, and the grapes were harvested at full maturity in excellent climatic conditions. Sexual confusion methods worked very effectively against grape moths, which were particularly virulent this year in certain Bordeaux sectors.

A generous harvest


The number of clusters was high in 2023, as the quality of flowering promoted excellent yields. Climatic conditions resulted in classic berry weights, and thinning was relatively significant for Merlot. The extreme heat on August 23rd and 24th caused some sunburn on the west-facing side of the clusters, but this had no impact on the grapes’ aromatic expression. Alcohol levels remained moderate, and the juices exhibited remarkable balance. All three grape varieties in the vineyard performed exceptionally well. Both young and old vines took full advantage of the year’s climate. The identity of each terroir is strongly marked in this vintage.

"With a sumptuous garnet robe, the 2023 vintage offers a powerful and beautifully complex nose. Floral notes, black fruits, cocoa, and blonde tobacco blend together with purity. The palate is refined and elegant. The frank and direct attack builds in intensity, crescendo-style. The fruit aromas are intense and perfectly highlighted by ripe, silky tannins. Balanced and fresh, the finish lingers on the palate for long minutes."

Great start
Format: Kindle
I loved this book! It's funny but still deals with tough themes, like chronic illness, a serial killer on the loose, and a dash of self-harm. The guys are interesting and distinct, we don't know too much about them yet. It does end on a really terrible cliffhanger but on the bright side the next book is out and I believe the series is complete. I have enjoyed both of these authors separately and this is a great team up!

Fudge!
Format: Kindle
Titles aren’t my strong suit. Sorry not sorry. That ending has me completely frustrated book two isn’t out yet. Just throwing that out there. First thing first, this is a high school book where the lead is under 18. Yea yea she’s about month from being an adult, but I can’t say I would’ve even opened the file if I’d realized. It’s not a smut fest or anything, but there is sexual tension as each party figures out their emotions. That being said, it’s a good book. There are some troubling parts, like how the supes come into their powers at 13, but most of those are dealt with in a way that makes sense. Kian is the exception. His whole arc pisses me off, especially since no one stepped in. Reflecting back on real world situations, ten or so years ago, I can see it happening, but it still makes me sick. Which, I’m sure was the whole damn point. For the most part, Courting Darkness is a fun read. I found myself laughing along with most of the set up. By the time it started getting serious, I’d grown to like the characters enough it held an impact. I’ll be adding book two to my list for when it comes out.

Intriguing
Format: Kindle
An intriguing story that played out slowly while introducing some unique characters. The story became quite fascinating to read as these same characters provided startling revelations to their lives. As their relationships evolve, more drama and mystery is revealed adding to my fascination. I can’t wait to read more.

Outstanding Story!!!!!!!
Format: Kindle
Oh I loved this story. Sera is such an amazing, fun character. She has so much fire inside of herself. She has humor that makes you laugh with her sassy comments. The guys are fantastic. I don’t feel as if we really have gotten to know who and what they are but they are such a mix of fae. The story is extremely well written and developed. It had me pulled in and didn’t let go. There was so much action, drama, and suspense. Then we get to the ending and goodness there is so much going on. This ending was a major cliffhanger and I absolutely can’t wait to see what happens next.

Exceptional
Format: Kindle
I think this an exciting entertaining story different from other fantasy reverse harmen story. I love the 1st book in this series and hope it continues to weave a story of friendship, love and disappointment as well as sadness. The cliffhanger was gripping and held you in suspense that waiting until the next book was released was almost too much. I’m so glad I waited to read this series until the majority of the books were released. Katie May and Quinn Arthur’s are wonderful writers and I’m looking forward to reading more from both of them.
