The 2024 vintage was first marked by a rainy winter, which allowed our vines to build up a satisfactory water reserve.
The succession of rain, not very intense but regular in the spring, required considerable efforts in the vineyard to combat diseases. The summer, with moderate heat, allowed our vines not to suffer from drought or heatwave, and to promote a slow maturation of our grapes.
The harvest was ultimately long and complex, punctuated by rains that led us to choose to wait sometimes several days in order to promote the optimal maturity of the raisins.
The 2024 vintage, with more confidential volumes, reveals wines that are both balanced and concentrated, with silky tannins and controlled degrees.
Complexity, finesse, freshness and liveliness are the key words of this vintage, reminiscent of the style and aging potential of the 90s.
