2021 was a winemaker vintage and required great responsiveness to very variable weather, comforting us in the pursuit of our good work in the vineyard. Winter was mild, followed by spring frosts before a dry mid-spring and then a cool summer with record rainfall. By stripping the leaves at the beginning of July, our grapes remained healthy. The harvest started in good conditions with the whites on September 13th in Brézème (-80% harvest due to frost), followed by Crozes-Hermitage and Condrieu. The summer conditions preserved a rare balance in our region. The Marsanne and Roussanne reveal freshness, minerality and precision, the Viogniers aromas of fresh fruit and a mouth full of finesse. For the reds, the lowland vineyards are full of indulgence with floral aromas and soft tannins. Finally, the granite terroirs reveal notes of pepper and spices and a rich palate.

Sandy-clay soil covered in pebbles. The vines are tended in a traditional way, using methods that respect the terroir, thereby encouraging biodiversity and drawing out the very best from the grapes. This is why some of our centenary vine stocks are able to withstand the tests of time and continue to give their best.

Elegant purple-red colour with shiny reflections. Powerful and complex, the nose reveals a dazzling aromatic bouquet with notes of small red fruit and spices. A perfect expression of Syrah, the palate is rich and delicious with its beautiful aromas of red fruit, well balanced by a beautiful freshness. Aging in very moderate wooden barrels provides an interesting tannic structure, dense but silky, with a lot of roundness and tenderness. A very nice tribute to Syrah with its great aging potential of 7 years.
