The 2024 vintage in Southern Rhône benefited from a mild winter and a rainy spring, encouraging early budbreak. The temperate summer allowed for gradual ripening, resulting in lovely freshness, especially in the whites and rosés. The reds, driven by structured Syrah and concentrated Grenaches, are both rich and well-balanced.
