Following a winter slightly drier than usual—with 18% less rainfall and notably low average minimum temperatures, particularly in July—the season transitioned into a warm, humid spring. Rainfall was concentrated mainly in September and October, stimulating vigorous vegetative growth without the need for irrigation. Although springtime minimum temperatures averaged nearly two degrees above normal, a localized moderate frost affected some southern vineyards.

Summer began with regular rainfall, which intensified during the first half of February before giving way to a dry, sunny period with cool temperatures—conditions that allowed excellent polyphenolic ripeness in certain Tannat parcels. Overall, ripening advanced slowly, though harvest began and ended within typical dates, from January 30 to March 24. It was a vintage of normal production volume, with grapes showing lower sugar concentration and delicate aromatic profiles, particularly in varieties well adapted to such conditions, such as Tannat.
