2023 was a very fine vintage, marked by heavy rain at the start of the campaign, which led to some harvest losses due to “coulure” and “rot gris”. This was followed by well-balanced grapes despite the high temperatures of early September. So we had to be patient to get the best out of the year!
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.
