Wondering how will the weather of 2010 affect the quality of grape harvested? Whether 2010 will make a normal or a great vintage of the decade? MGV will bring you to the scene.
The growing season kicked in with cold spring, leading to fewer flower blossom and fruit set. Some grape varieties such as Merlot were especially prone to this, which resulted in fewer harvest volume by comparison to previous vintages. Fortunately, dry and hot summer provided the grapes with long growing and ripening period. As the weather of 2010 was a little low in rainfall, the nutrients of the vines were gone to the berries, which made the berries small but concentrated with aromatic flavors. The near harvest tasting were promising, the grapes showed thick skin, high sugar content, with ample acidity. The pips appeared to be very mature and nutty in flavour, which is one of the characteristics of dry years. Hopefully, rain will set in near harvest time to ensure that the skin is as refined and crisp as possible.
While 2010 is a typical dry year, it will not be turned into another vintage like 2003 since the cool nights enable the grapes to preserve their freshness and fruity aromas. Signified by small and concentrated grapes combined with low yields, vintage 2010 is expected to be a great vintage of Bordeaux. Please stay tuned for our upcoming updates on vintage 2010 quality analysis and our pick of the year. Meanwhile, please feel free to send us wish list of your “must buy” items of Bordeaux vintage 2010.
