Presentation
With its freshness and notes of currant and raspberry from a short maceration before pressing, it is the wine of all meals. Just fresh, with surprising length, it is a real value.
The vintage
2023 was marked by a homogeneous start to vegetation: bud-break dates returned to normal, foliage developed rapidly and bunches of grapes emerged nicely. Heavy rainfall in the spring tarnished the start of the season somewhat, with mildew appearing in places. There was no hot summer in 2023, but relatively cool nights and warm but not excessively hot days in July and August created ideal ripening conditions for the grapes, which produced remarkable aromatic potential.

Tasting
A brilliant salmon-pink colour, quite pale, with silver highlights.
Particularly intense, the nose is a subtle blend of notes of small red fruits (strawberries, redcurrants, raspberries), citrus fruit and lightly acidic English sweets.
The attack is very smooth. On the palate, the wine is beautifully full-bodied and voluminous, with delicious notes of red berries (strawberries, raspberries) and citrus fruit. A pleasant freshness appears in the middle of the palate and follows through to the finish. This is a very refreshing wine, full of deliciousness, that will be a pleasure to drink.
