2022 embraces both quality and generosity, and reveals a vibrant and incredibly seductive profile with crunchy fruitiness. Autumn and winter are mild with temperatures already higher than normal for the season and low rainfall. Temperatures continue to rise as months go by, reaching new heights with no less than four heatwave episodes but thankfully, although rare, the rains are sufficient and the vine keeps growing in the best possible conditions. The harvest begins in the last week of August. The hot and dry weather help limit the number of treatments to twice, three times less than the year before. The grapes are healthy, impeccable and the desired balance is there thanks to the light showers that fell in mid-August. Great balance on the whites, with a fruitiness that is both ripe and deliciously fresh.
The nose reveals notes of tangy Granny Smith apple, sweet and tasty pear, with a hint of bergamot. On the palate, a more generous profile in the aromas this year but still as pure with a nice minerality. It offers a beautiful maturity cut by a mouthwwatering undercurrent and a salty finish.
