Aroma
A generous bouquet of dried flowers (violets, peonies,
roses), red and black fruits (blackcurrants, blackberries),
and spices (cocoa, vanilla) with a luscious, complex
quality that is soft and comforting.
Appearance
Red with light crimson tints.
Palate
Delicious on the palate: velvety soft and enveloping
on entry with a hint of sweetness. Concentrated and
dense, but above all harmonious and captivating. After
a few moments, the fruit gives way to dried flowers and
spices, along with a grainy, saline and chalky freshness
that adds structure to the wine..
Vintage Notes
The 2022 vintage brought us record sunshine, with
the sunniest July since 1959 and no fewer than five
high-temperature peaks between spring and summer.
It was a "dry" growing season overall, because, although
drought was at the forefront of everyone's minds, we
must not forget the replenishing thunderstorms in June,
rare but invaluable oceanic influxes that ensured the
vines never suffered from a lack of water. And lastly,
we had the “final gift" in the form of some mid-August
rain that came at just the right time to bring about
exceptional ripening!
