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.
Presentation
Presentation
This cuvée "Les Petites Parcelles" honours its terroir. Les Genets is the result of a meticulous selection of plots, in order to allow our winegrowers who work these plots to sublimate their terroirs by making a qualitative wine that is representative of the wines from the Côtes du Rhône village Chusclan appellation.
Terroir
This cuvée comes from the most qualitative terroirs of the Chusclan appellation with limestone terraces, stony plateaus and rolled pebbles («galets roulés») on the plain. This soil diversity combined with the dry and hot climate of the region are a guarantee of quality from one vintage to the next.
