Fruity apricot notes are evident on the nose. The palate is full and well balanced. The wines volume perfectly balances its freshness and gives the palate lovely length.

Vineyards

Clay-limestone soils, the harvest is carried out at night by machine to limit the oxidation of the musts and preserve the aromatic substances.

Vintage

2020 will undoubtedly stand out as an atypical year. The winter was mild marked, by a water shortage over the period, although reserves from 2019 helped to alleviate this. Budbreak was 10 days earlier than in previous vintages. Although snow fell after budbreak and frost was a real risk, it only affected a few vines in Beaumont Moneux. June brought plentiful heat and sunshine in the Northern Rhône and some welcome rain in the Southern Rhône. Grenache in the Southern Rhône looked beautiful and Syrah in the north perfectly balanced. Harvest was earlier than usual starting in early September and proceeded calmly and without any weather pressures. Marked by exceptional earliness and scorching mid-summer heat, the 2020 vintage offers us wines full of elegance and pedigree. They have all the markers of great ageing potential thanks to preserved acidity and remarkable phenolic maturity. The elegance of the red wines and the expression of minerality supported by a beautiful acidity on the whites are the hallmarks of this particular vintage that is full of surprises.

Winemaking

Total destemming, gentle pressing, cold static settling. Low temperature alcoholic fermentation in stainless-steel vats. The wine is protected against oxygen to preserve its aromatic potential. It is then aged for 4 months on the fine lees in stainless-steel vats.
