2023 was an excellent vintage for Burgundy. Alternating good rains, windy periods and cool temperatures throughout the campaign resulted in a very well-balanced harvest, with a real freshness in the wines obtained. Despite the high temperatures during the harvest, around September 10, the wines are easily digestible, very fine and without excess.
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.
