A generous, early vintage harvested at the very end of August under mild temperatures, 2022 does not show any signs of over-ripeness or heaviness. In a year marked by drought and intense heatwaves, the wines nevertheless boast good acidity in the whites and fine balance in the reds. Pleasant from the moment they are bottled, they will keep for at least 15 years.
This is the story of a Burgundian winemaker who came to Luberon. He drew on his roots to make unique wines in the south.
A family call and a timely proposal put the winemaker back on the road. Today, from north to south and south to north, each vintage is written in the plural.
