Winemaker Notes

A true winemaker vintage, very demanding and promising with moderate alcoholic content. It is an atypical vintage marked by climatic events that asked for many
adaptations. The winter was soft then the spring started with a frost episode
during the night of 7th to 8th April, which destroyed the young bud, thus slowed
down the vine vegetative cycle. The season remained cold then gave way to
the summer, with several heat events and some precipitations, especially a big
rainfall in early august, which helped to spare the vineyard from water stress.
Finally, spring frost coupled with cool summer nights caused a heterogeneous
yield across the vineyard even though the sanitary conditions remained
satisfying. However, during the autumn, harvests had been slowed down by some stormy
episodes that led us to adjust our practices and make crucial decisions to deal
with a very demanding vintage. The results are fresh wines, that could be enjoyed in their youth, reminding the 90’s wines, and showing a good ageing potential.

Bright golden color, with anis reflections. On the nose, we find intense notes of soft fruits and citruses peel extracts. The palate is structured and fresh, with white fruits notes, candied white pears and lime zest. There is a long finish with a straight and sapid finish.
Grenache white gives structure to this beautiful wine, Viognier brings the aromatic notes and white Clairette shows freshness, making a brilliant and velvety wine.
