Technical information about the 2024 vintage

The 2024 vintage was kind and well-balanced, allowing us to approach our first harvest with confidence and peace of mind.

Following a winter and spring during which generous rainfall replenished the soils, no significant disease pressure developed, unlike in many other wine-growing regions across France.

The mild summer was punctuated by two timely storms on 6 July and 15 August, followed by two periods of rainfall in early September. These conditions allowed the grapes to reach optimal ripeness.
