The 2022 vintage was characterised by a very dry winter, with the vegetative cycle of the vines resuming very early in March. Spring saw abundant flowering, but was marked in June by severe hail in and around Laudun, which affected many plots. The summer was very dry, resulting in a high-quality harvest, with beautifully aromatic rosés, reds with high tannin potential and rich, flavoursome whites.

Visual appearance
A beautiful, sparkling, bright pale yellow cuvée.
At nose
The nose seduces with lime-like citrus notes mixed with white peach and almond fragrances.
On the palate
The attack on the palate is remarkable. The particularly long freshness, suppleness and aromatic persistence reinforces interest in this "tender wine", which has a very beautiful, balanced finish.
