The 2023 vintage, despite a dry winter, witnessed the vines beginning their cycle. A rainy spring energized growth, especially for the Grenache. Summer heat exceeding 40°C affected yields, but the grape quality remains excellent, resulting in robust red wines, aromatic whites, and a vibrant character for the rosés.
