After a particularly hot and dry summer, the harvest began on August 17th with a perfectly ripe crop of white grapes, early enough to preserve all their freshness and natural balance. The reds followed, benefiting from a few saving rains that gave them more refinement. We favored infusion over extraction on our Crozes-Hermitage and our Brézème, preserving the crunchiness of the Syrah and the very delicate fruit of the vintage. In the cellar, the punching down and pumping for the 3 weeks of maceration released power and character for our Cornas, Saint Joseph and Hermitage. After devatting, a long aging will allow the wines to develop their aromatics, refine their tannins and gain in amplitude. The balance is already beautiful with controlled degrees and a lot of depth.

Located from high-altitude vineyards of the Ardèche, our vines benefit from cool temperatures.

- Harvested early in the morning to preserve the freshness of the berries. 

- Because Viognier has a thick skin that impedes the extraction of its aromatic palette, long pressing at low temperature is carried out. 

- The must is then fermented at a low temperature (20°C) and aged in stainless steel vats to preserve its fresh and fruity character.

Pretty pale colour with delicate golden reflections. Very precise, the nose is typical of the Viognier grape variety with notes of citrus and exotic fruit. On the palate, this wine reveals a perfect balance between freshness and vivacity, with a very nice well-present acidity which gives this Viognier a very "Northern" character.
