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.

This parcel is located in the plains, on 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.

A wine crafted in an immensely classic way, with carefully controlled ageing to bring nuance.

Attractive pale-yellow colour with beautiful bright undertones. This wine reveals a superb nose that is both very precise and very subtle with notes of small, dried fruit and toast. Full bodied and well structured, the palate reveals beautiful spicy notes, perfectly balanced between the concentration and power of Marsanne and the aromatic precision and acidity of Roussanne. It continues with a very long finish, predicting a great capacity for aging.
