VINTAGE & CHARACTERISTICS

2023 : A year punctuated by unforeseen weather
conditions! The winter was marked by
an exceptional drought. The rains of May
and June, however, rekindled the disease
pressure on Pignans.


August was very hot, with a lot of Mistral
wind and hot nights. Temperatures
dropped around September. All in all, an
uneven harvest, with early and later grape
varieties such as Mourvèdre and Cinsault.

VINIFICATION

The Syrah is harvested slightly overripe as we wait for the Mourvèdre which takes longer to ripen. After destemming, the two varieties are macerated and fermented together. ‘Pigeage’ or punching down is done by hand before pneumatic pressing and selection. Matured in medium toast 300 liter oak barrels from the forests of Tronçais, Allier, and the Vosges, for 12 months, depending on the vintage. Stirring of the lees or ‘batonnage’ is followed by racking.For 50% of the juice, fermentation takes place in 300 liters French oak barrels (oak from the forest of Tronçais in the Allier region, Nièvre and the Vosges).
The wine is then racked and matured for 6-8 months with regular ‘bâtonnage’ or stirring of the lees. Finally it is blended, fined and filtered and is ready for bottling in April.

ROBE

A very young purple-violet colour

NOSE

This wine expresses a veritable symphony of fragrances. They evoke aromas of violet, morello cherry and blackcurrant, as well as pepper, licorice and menthol. Sweet spices such as vanilla and roasted notes, enhanced by well-controlled oak influence, underline the bouquet of this very elegant nose.

PALATE

After an initial impression of tangy, minty freshness, the wine asserts itself with its volume, power and fullness. The finish is very suave and luscious, with a perfect balance between sweetness and young yet full, elegant tannins.

TOUCH

A touch of satin. Generous and voluminous.

MOMENT

A lunch in its own right, on a cloudy day. The gentle Provencal way of life lights up the table. With sincerity and elegance…

FOOD PAIRINGS

With meats, grilled or stewed: prime rib grilled over vine shoots, or even a Provençal beef stew with polenta.
