2024 is a very fine vintage despite yet another severe late frost in the region, which did not completely spare the estate, particularly this cuvée, which lost 35% of its usual volume. The alternation of good rainfall, windy periods, and temperatures without any real excesses resulted in a very balanced harvest and wines with real freshness. They are easy to drink and refined, without excess.
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.
