100% estate fruit, offering the purest expression of a great Provencal terroir

Made from selected parcels of mainly old vines. Very representative of the estate’s style in its commitment to excellence and characterized by complexity and balance.

For more than three months, an interminable period of heat and relative dryness settled over Provence. This exceptionally long episode came on top of very low rainfall since the beginning of the winter. Heat and drought are indeed the two main characteristics of the vintage. The seasonal cycle began with a relatively harsh winter, punctuated by a few isolated storms. It was followed by a spring marked by frosts and violent hail falls which, fortunately, spared the vineyard.

From August onwards, the ripening of the berries had its share of surprises. Sugar levels rose very quickly in the early ripening grape varieties, with a reduction in acidity. On the contrary, the later ripening grape varieties struggled to start their sugar load with quite unusual ripening. These surprising behaviors led us to be more vigilant, to meticulously monitor the vineyard, down to the very last vine, in order to organize a harvest that was finally very concentrated between August 25th and September 28th, so as to capture
the berries at their best.

Delicate pneumatic pressing, carefully separating the juices, and traditional vinification in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats precede blending our carefully selected parcels.

Very pale, lychee pink in color. The nose is fine and elegant. Complex, releasing white fleshed fruit and citrus fruits aromas, along with white floral notes. The palate is straightforward and clean. Fine and silky, it is soft, delicate and lively. The freshness of the finish is balanced with a subtle hint of saltiness.
