Hand-picked; direct pressing; temperature-controlled fermentation; aged on fine lees in 350/400- and 500-liter demi-muids, with malolactic fermentation completed for this vintage; fined but not filtered; bottled on “fruit day” in July 2026.
The 2025 growing season got off to a rainy start, which allowed for a balanced growing cycle and good overall resilience to the heat waves experienced in June and August. As this was a vintage with a slow ripening process, we had to wait to harvest crisp, juicy grapes that would yield wines with a beautiful structure on the palate.
This is the story of a Burgundian winemaker who came to Luberon. He drew on his roots to make unique wines in the south.
A family call and a timely proposal put the winemaker back on the road. Today, from north to south and south to north, each vintage is written in the plural.
