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.
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.
Winemaking
100% traditional vinification (crushed and destemmed harvest). 10 to 20 days of vatting. Grapes carefully picked and selected at full maturity.
