Vintages
. Vintage 2009
The dream year. Flowering started early and was homogeneous and simultaneous throughout the vineyard. High temperatures and a particularly generous amount of sunshine from May to September had a beneficial impact on the vine's growth cycle and the grapes. There was a little rain at the beginning of September, and the harvest took place under a clear sky with cool nights.
Vintage 2009 is now maturing in oak barrels and will be bottled in July 2011.

. Vintage 2008
Classified as Cru Bourgeois under the new recognition system, Château Reynats 2008, a fine, elegant wine, long in mouth, goes with all types of meat. Vintage 2008 was bottled in July 2010.
. Vintage 2007
The yield was low but of high quality.
Fine concentrations of red fruit aromas. This is a vintage which deserves to be discovered.
. Vintage 2006
Less tannic than vintage 2005, the characteristics of the terroir are well represented with distinctive red fruit aromas.
It will be ready to drink sooner and has an aging potential of 15 years.
Ideal with poultry or white meat.
Like the 2005 vintage, this vintage was praised in the Dussert-Gerber wine guide and was awarded the rank of Lauréat du Top vigneron 2009-2010.
. Vintage 2005
The 2005 vintage has come up to all expectations.
An exceptional year which promised to be the year of the century, or at least one of them. No one knew at the time that four years later the Médoc region would produce an incredible 2009.
Nonetheless, the 2005 vintage is a remarkable, powerful and aromatic wine with an aging potential of more than 30 years.
