The vintage
The 2022 vintage was marked by climatic challenges, including two major events: spring heat and the passage of a late-season typhoon. The season began with a hot, dry spring, during which the highest temperatures of the past five vintages were recorded. This heat required special attention from our team, who ensured optimal irrigation to support healthy vine growth and successful flowering. After mid-flowering, a rainy period set in, worsened by the arrival of Typhoon Meihua at the end of the season, which brought 300 mm of rain in just three days. These complex weather conditions created significant disease pressure, putting our technical team to the test, impacting yields and requiring a rigorous selection. A meticulous intra-plot zoning was carried out on each terrace to ensure optimal ripeness. Harvest began on 9 September and concluded on 1 October.

Tasting
Brilliant ruby colour.
The nose offers a lively bouquet of red fruit (raspberry, cranberry, cherry, strawberry), complemented by notes of pepper, clove, a hint of roasted almond, and a subtle floral fragrance.
On the palate, the wine combines freshness and structure, enlivened by lightly toasted woody notes. This vibrant wine reveals a fine and lingering texture, supported by a granitic acidity. A wine of great finesse.
