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.

Granite soils. The vineyards are cultivated traditionally, with the greatest respect for the terroir, to promote biodiversity and give the grapes the best possible results. This is how some of our century-old vines stand the test of time and are still capable of producing their best.

- Harvested by hand.
- Grapes picked just before they are ripe to preserve their acidity.
- The juice is fermented in demi-muids (600-litre capacity oak barrels) and barrels.
- Quantity limited to just 1,500 bottles.

Beautiful bright-gold colour with golden highlights. Viognier fully blossomed in this vintage and offers a particularly aromatic nose, very seductive, dominated by superb exotic notes and aromas of white peaches. Full bodied and voluptuous on the palate, this wine reveals beautiful fattiness all in finesse, perfectly well balanced, with small vanilla notes which sublimate the exoticism of Viognier. Entirely vinified in barrels, this wine is definitely under the sign of charm and finesse.
