2019 vintage is in line with the top vintages of the decade. After a nice winter,
spring came slowly, where our famous wind “Mistral” helped keep very
healthy environments in the vineyard during that important growing season.
The last week of June, Rhône Valley vineyards went through a heat wave with
temperatures above 45°C (113 °F).
Fortunately, our biodynamic sprays of horn dungs, silicas, chamomiles, nettles
and essential oils, combined with the good water reserve of the soils from 2018,
helped the vines to continue their growth in great conditions. Thanks to August
and September gentle rains we were able to pick beautiful grapes, healthy and
balanced.
Châteauneuf-du-Pape is characterized by the diversity of its soils, with a
mosaic of plots where different varieties grow together on limestone rock,
round pebbles on a clay substrate with varying amounts of iron, and fine
sedimentary sand.
The grapes are hand-picked and sorted in the vineyard.

Pristine and pure, it's a medium-bodied whirl of citrus with touches of foral and mineral notes. Don't look for opulence and sur-maturité here—you'll and tension and freshness instead.

Almond and spiced pear with a note of fresh green apple. Nice richness to the fruit and good acidity really lifts this wine to the finish, a slight note of hay and chamomile. Very good.
