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.

Saint-Joseph’s terroir is mainly granite. The slopes that rise above the Rhône face east/south-east.

We wanted to make a balanced wine using grapes from the north of the appellation, to bring minerality and fruit, and berries from the historical centre of Saint-Joseph that add more flesh to the wine. The blend produces balanced, refined wines.
- Vinified in demi-muids (60-litre capacity barrels).
- Fermentation and ageing in demi-muids for 10 months.

Beautiful limpid colour with shiny reflections. This wine opens with a fresh and delicate nose dominated by seductive aromas of citrus. The mouth shows a remarkable balance between freshness and vivacity, bitterness and acidity, offering a very good ageing potential. The delicate citrus notes linger and are underlined by a beautiful, slightly saline minerality typical of this granite terroir. A wine that deserves to wait for 2 or 3 years before opening to reveal its full potential.
