The 2020 vintage is a unique vintage. It is marked by historic precocity from budburst, with an advance of 3 weeks, until the harvest which took place entirely in the month of August. High temperatures associated with a lack of precipitation cause a significant water deficit as well as evapotranspiration phenomena in July and August. The absence of rain, on the other hand, allows the health of the grapes to be very satisfactory. The particular conditions of this vintage generate wonderful balances.
This terroir is on a silty structure with gravel. The wine is characterised by its minerality and its elegance. Cuvee of blending from the purchase of grapes and from our own vine. At their arrival in our cellar, the grapes are immediately and carefully pressed with a pneumatic press .
Tasting note: With a dense and concentrated structure, this floral wine expresses an exemplary finesse.
Food pairings: Ideal with the choice and delicate fishes cooked in creamy sauce.
