The winter of 2023-2024 was characterized by record rainfall and mild temperatures, leading to very early budburst. Spring was cool and particularly wet.

From April on, we noticed unprecedented pressure of mildew in the vineyards, requiring constant vigilance.
The end of May offered a window of favourable weather for flowering, but coulure had a major impact on the potential yield of sensitive plots.

Fortunately, summer arrived at the end of June, bringing moderate heat and dryness, making for a gradual veraison despite a water deficit.

September was punctuated by heavy rain, slowing down ripening and speeding up the harvest.

Patience was the key to success, enabling us to obtain optimum ripeness in the grapes. The harvest began on September 27th.
Despite the challenges imposed by this contrasting vintage, the wines we produced lived up to our expectations.
