The vintage
The 2023 vintage is characterised by a beautiful climatic balance, which is reflected in the cellar. The mild winter was followed by a dry spring then a hot summer, particularly in August and September. Despite a slight lack of rain, these conditions allowed ideal ripening and the harvest began on August 22nd in perfect conditions. Under a warm and radiant sun, the harvest went perfectly, even if it was necessary to work quickly to prevent the juices from oxidizing in the heat, particularly the rosés. The harvest ended on October 4, with the last devatting on October 23. The first tastings reveal very balanced wines: they are rich, powerful and have good concentration, while having retained a beautiful freshness. A vintage that shows great potential.

Tasting
Seductive pale-yellow colour with shiny reflections. This wine reveals a nose full of freshness and deliciousness with aromas of very ripe pears and candied quince, with a hint of anise. Round and well balanced, the palate offers tangy notes before evolving towards pastry and juicy fruit aromas. The long finish is lively with a nice texture.
