From the International Wine Challenge to Decanter, and from Guide Hatchette to Revue des Vins de France, each of the wines of DGM has been recognised in this year’s round of awards.

Here in the UK we’re delighted for Mathieu and the team at the vineyard.

Silver for 2015 Réserve Merlot Cabernet and 2012 Moelleux, and Bronze for Merlot Cabernet 2015 with a commendation for our 2016 Sauvignon.

special mention in the Guide Hachette des Rosés 2017/18 for our Rosé 2016.

 

There were worried faces across the vineyards of France as late frosts threatened to devastate this year’s crop following early budding. 

Bordeaux certainly suffered significant losses, as did some of our neighbours in Duras and Bergerac. At Grand Mayne, the lower vineyards were affected and we may lose around 10% or so of this years potential crop as a result. So now we’re keeping fingers crossed for a bumper harvest of fabulous grapes in other parts of the vineyard to compensate!
