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.

This name, Prieur Saint-Julien, pays tribute to the history of the priors who travelled and stopped by the vineyards in order to meditate in the various priories along the Rhône Valley. This name is in keeping with the desire and commitment of Maison Sinnae to pass on the heritage and terroir of the Rhône to future generations.
