2024  

Vins de France may be produced throughout France using exclusively French-grown grapes. This regulation is strictly adhered to.

These are the Cellar Master’s wines as it is he who decides which of the growers’cuvées to select, how to vinify and age them, as well as when to bottle them. The style of the wine therefore depends significantly on his assessment. Vins de France really give the Cellar Master the opportunity to give the wine his signature touch based on his highly personal judgement.

This wine was made to be enjoyed rapidly, but it can be kept for about 2 years.

In 2024, the south of France experienced contrasting climatic conditions: a mild winter followed by spring frosts, and then significant rainfall until the beginning of summer. These cumulative hazards favoured the development of diseases, particularly mildew, with an impact on the health of the vines. Yields were lower than expected and down compared to the previous year, because of these diseases but also the persistent drought for several years which weakened the vines. The harvest began at the end of August and extended until September, with heterogeneous harvests depending on the sector, due to climatic and health disparities.
