2023 

Vintage year review :

A vintage marked by ideal weather conditions: spring and summer were warm with just the right amount of rainfall, which allowed excellent ripening of the grapes.

Tasting advice:

Beautiful aromatic intensity of red and black fruits, with fine, structured tannins. An elegant wine with lovely freshness and excellent aging potential.

That year in the wine world…
