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.

Recent alluvial deposits of calcareous origin with variations according to the river path, stony clay-limestone.

- Treading of the white grapes and pneumatic pressing.
- Fining of the must and refrigeration.
- Regulated fermentation in vats.
- Ageing in stainless steel vats for 6 months.

Pretty deep-yellow colour with shiny undertones. The nose is complex and precise with seductive aromas of very ripe fruit, candied orange and ginger. The palate shows great balance: the attack is powerful, lively and tense before giving way to more depth and roundness with the greediness of candied fruit. The finish is long, carried by a delicate bitterness.
