Presentation
The vintage
Despite climatic challenges throughout the year requiring constant vigilance and considerable work in the vineyard, the 2024 vintage looks very promising. The harvest began on August 2nd, and the last grapes were picked on October 3rd. Each vineyard was harvested at perfect maturity, with grapes that were both balanced and expressive. The work in the vineyards was demanding, but the efforts made should result in wines of high quality. The first tastings reveal wines with a very good balance, combining fruitiness, tension and finesse. With optimal phenolic maturity, supported by good acidity, they also reveal great freshness and a beautiful structure. Promising qualities for this 2024 vintage which should stand out for its aromatic richness and its aging capacity.

Old alluvial deposits of round and flat stones, calcareous marl and patches of clay created by alluvial alpine flows.

The white grapes are harvested at optimal maturity. The harvest date is defined through analysis and tasting of the berries. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes are pressed using a pneumatic press. After settling, the must ferments in temperature controlled tanks.

Tasting
Beautiful pale-yellow-colour with shiny green highlights. Particularly fresh and lively, the nose offers an irresistible aromatic bouquet dominated by citrus aromas, highlighted by notes of white flowers and lemon zest. Tangy and delicious, the palate gives a sensation of liveliness and freshness, with a crunchy texture and seductive aromas of green apples finely associated with delicate nuances of white flowers. The long finish is very pure and elegant thanks to a light salinity. A balanced and thirst-quenching wine, dominated by great freshness.
