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, Maestral, owes its name to the Occitan dialect meaning the Mistral, the wind that blows down the Rhone valley. This cuvée honours the singularity of the terroir that makes up the Gard vineyards. This wine is therefore born from a selection of plots in order to highlight the qualitative aspect of this indication, and to sublimate the typicity of the terroir which makes the wines of our House so unique.
