Generations of local knowledge have taught our grape growers the secrets of each appellation. They know where to source the best grapes to create the most outstanding wines.
The vintage
2022 was a vintage marked by a succession of climatic excesses of varying intensity from April onwards (frost, hail, drought and heatwaves). It will be remembered as one of the earliest of the last 20 years. A mild, dry winter led to early bud-break, flowering was rapid and uniform thanks to perfect weather conditions (hot and dry) and very low sanitary pressure. Thanks to the high water reserves from 2021, the vines were able to withstand the drought and heatwave during the summer. Two thunderstorms in August enabled all grape varieties to finish their ripening in the perfect conditions. This climatically excessive vintage produced great red wines, surprisingly well-balanced and harmonious.

Tasting
Deep garnet colour. Vibrant nose, with aromas of fresh berries (redcurrant, blackberry, raspberry). With swirling, floral notes of rose develop. On the palate, the wine is flattering, round and harmonious, with velvety tannins. An accessible seductive wine.
