Ideal Conditions at Chateau Rabaud Promis



Ideal conditions at Chateau Rabaud Promis. “The conditions for harvesting are very comfortable this year,” said Philippe Dejean, owner of Chateau Rabaud Promis (1st classified growth). “What better: the hot weather and an east wind, coming to concentrate our golden grapes already botrytised” he added.

However, the reactivity is required this year we recruit; we hired more than 35 pickers to harvest quickly because dry weather accelerates the concentration. A final sorting is performed on a table in the cellar (like for some red) where the grapes are hand scanned before being carried into the press.




Great concentration of flavors this year and low volumes.
