Food pairings
Here are three occasions to enjoy this wine — and plenty more for you to create: a relaxed drinks-and-bites evening, with fine charcuterie, mature cheeses or vegetable pastries; a simple but generous dinner, with roast chicken, a slow-cooked dish or vegetable lasagna; a final glass after dinner, to be enjoyed slowly with aged Parmesan, toasted nuts, a square of dark chocolate or simply while the conversation carries on.

The vintage

2023 was a year full of contrasts: warm temperatures at the end of December and beginning of January raised concerns about early budding; a return to normalcy continued until February with relatively cool weather; a persistent drought accompanied by a strong Mistral wind, followed by regular rainfall until the end of June. Thanks to constant vigilance in the vineyards, the berries were healthy and well-ripened when harvest started, promising one of the finest vintages of the past decade.

Terroir

Vines flourish on a mosaic of terroirs such as sandy type terrains, terraces of large pebbles, marls, hillsides of limestone soils.

Winemaking

Each vineyard parcel is vinified individually to preserve its distinctive character. Extraction is carried out slowly and gently, building refined texture and concentration without sacrificing finesse. The wine is then aged for 18 months, part in barrel, part in "foudres", depending on the characteristics of each grape variety.
