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.

The granite parent rock is covered in places by schist but also by sand and chalky soil.

Our aim here is to produce consistently refined wines offering elegance and finesse.
- Maceration and fermentation for about 20 days with pumping over for the first few days and then punching down towards the end.
- Ageing for 15 months in one year-old barrels and in demi-muids (60-litre capacity barrels).

Beautiful intense dark-red colour. With great finesse, the nose offers a superb aromatic bouquet with aromas of blackberries, spices and pepper, delicately mixed with slightly smoky notes. The palate continues with elegance, with a dense and suave texture with very present but remarkably refined and silky tannins, perfectly balanced by a very beautiful freshness reminiscent of the granite terroir with a very long finish. A particularly refined wine.
