2023 was a year full of contrasts, which required great composure and experience to deal with the climatic hazards. The winter was mild followed by a wet spring then a summer oscillating between hailstorms and drought, before a complicated harvest period, between August 17 and September 20. A permanent risk of rain and unpredictable weather forecasts required us to constantly adapt our plans in order to harvest our grapes, of good quality and well concentrated in sugars, at their optimal phenolic maturity. At the end of the harvest, the meticulous work was more than rewarded: this very unusual vintage proved to be very promising, perfectly well balanced across all quality indicators. In the cellar, we are pleasantly surprised by the freshness of the whites. The terroirs resisted drought and offer magnificent balance. Low temperature fermentations helped preserve the aromatics. The reds required long macerations in order to extract all the essence of the vintage. The wines from the lowlands are crisp and delicate, the wines from the hills stand out for their density and the radiance brought by the granite. The aging period has now started, the wines will improve and the textures will slowly become more complex in the cellar.

The terroir is complex and varied, composed in places of granite, rolled pebbles, and limestone. In the 'Grandes Vignes' area, granite soils dominate. The wines produced have a certain minerality, but also a beautiful texture of tannins. This sector represents 30% of our blend. The wines we obtain in the rolled pebble terroirs are rich and complex in terms of aromas. They represent the backbone of our wine, constituting 60% of our blend. Finally, the limestone soil refines the finesse and elegance of the wine. These three very complementary terroirs each contribute to the final blend.

- Pre-fermentation cold maceration.
- Then maceration and fermentation, with pumping over followed by punching down towards the end for 28 days.
- Aged in new barrels (30%) and one year-old barrels for 15 months.

Superb dress of a very dark and deep red, almost black. Still very young, this wine requires some time to fully open, but the nose already offers a beautiful, powerful, and complex aromatic expression, with notes of candied black fruit, revealing the start of great concentration. Complex, intense, and powerful, the palate is distinguished with prominent tannins and great nobility, highlighted by barrel aging. It extends into a long, very elegant finish, particularly aromatic and persistent. A wine that deserves a few years of aging to fully reveal itself harmounisly.
