Château Hannetot: Tasting & Drinking
On visiting the property in June 2014 I first took a walk around the vineyards in order to get a feel for its location and for the soils that they have to work with here. Although still obviously young the vines are in good health, and were well on their way to producing a handsome crop for the 2014 vintage.
Although there is a long history here, with viticulture along the way, there are no older vintages to be had. The estate declined during the latter years of the 20th century, and the 2006 revitalisation by Xavier Beaumartin was not so much a ‘freshening up’ of the domaine as a complete rebirth, with rapid, extensive and completely new planting of the 4 hectares.
