1 Gavin Quinney s Bordeaux Report THE WEATHER 214 To understand the weather is to understand the vintage - and the wines. My first vintage was in 1964 and I can honestly say that, since then, no two vintages have been the same. Every vintage has been different and has its own character. Jean-Claude Berrouet, winemaker at Petrus and now a consultant, during the harvest at Petrus, 3 October 214.

2 Introduction The English are renowned for talking about the weather and the following report, it could be said, takes this to a new level. As a grower and wine producer in Bordeaux, the impact on the different grape varieties and terroirs is fairly obvious. (It can also be quite dramatic, speaking as a viticulteur who lost half the crop to hail in 29 and 213.) Over the years, I ve gathered a fair amount of data and visited hundreds of vineyards across the region. The evolution of the vines and the grapes, from budburst in the spring through to the autumn harvest, can be completely absorbing, even before we get to taste the wines. Admittedly, this report on the weather in Bordeaux in 214 will only be of interest to a select few. If you re one of them (my commiserations), it should work well on an ipad, laptop or desktop, or on a mobile with a larger screen. Gavin Quinney

4 Bordeaux points about the weather Overall 214 was a book-end vintage: a relatively cool and damp summer was propped up by excellent flowering in June, and glorious September sunshine prior to the harvest. The wet and mild winter, notably in January and February, led to an early bud burst at the end of an equally mild March. The vines burst into life with the April sunshine, but slowed down during a chilly May. Plenty of sunshine in the first half of June was excellent for the flowering on the whole, with some exceptions. July was relatively cool and damp, despite heat spikes. The vines didn t get the hydric stress they needed to focus on fruit production. August was cooler and damper too, mildew had to be kept at bay during the holidays, and confidence was low. September saw the turnaround. A dry and sunny six weeks from the end of August to early October transformed the vintage. Rain in the second week of October took some of the shine off the harvest. A week more of sunshine would have been perfect. Unlike 211, 212, and 213, there was minimal threat of rot at harvest time on the reds in 214 (largely down to good weather during the flowering). Yields were approaching normal after the disastrous 213 crop; the September drought upped the quality - but it reduced the juice. 4
