The vintage
The 2014 vintage reflects a surprising year for the region. It is characterized by a mild, wet winter, hot, dry spring followed by a temperate and humid summer. This can only be classifed as an atypical year, a year for the winemaker. Work and supervision in the vineyards was mandatory until through to harvest. The slow ripening of the grapes and long macceration of the skins during vinification have resulted in aromatic wines, only to be describded as fresh and fine. The white wines are pretty, fruity and expressive with great minerality.
Location
Located largely in the regional park of the Luberon, on equal distance from Avignon, Aix-en-Provence and Manosque.
The average altitude of the vineyard is at 300 meters. Late maturity zone.

Reviews
"La marque devient un indispensable du quotidien. Dans la gamme du Luberon imaginée par la Famille Perrin (Château de Beaucastel à Châteauneuf-du-Pape ), ce 2014 joue son rôle de vin plaisir avec un parfum de biscuit, de saveurs de fruits rouges frais. La bouche toute douce fait sourire autant qu'elle désaltère."
