A dry winter foreshadowed challenges in spring, but budburst went smoothly without damage from frost. A very rainy spring demanded a great deal of effort from our teams to keep the vineyards in optimum health. The period was marked by the appearance of numerous inflorescences, heralding a promising harvest. Flowering went perfectly, requiring green harvesting to regulate the quantity of grapes on our vines. Apart from a heatwave in mid-August, temperatures remained relatively low, creating ideal conditions. Harvesting began on August 23 and ended on August 31 for the rosés. The wines of this vintage stand out for their elegance, freshness and deliciousness.
