Rhonéa - La Croisée des Chemins, Côtes du Rhône Villages, Red, 2023

Presentation

The vintage
2023 was a year full of contrasts: warm temperatures at the end of December and beginning of January raised concerns about early budding; a return to normalcy continued until February with relatively cool weather; a persistent drought accompanied by a strong Mistral wind, followed by regular rainfall until the end of June. Thanks to constant vigilance in the vineyards, the berries were healthy and well-ripened when harvest started, promising one of the finest vintages of the past decade.
Terroir
Sandy soils from the Miocene period and gravels from the foothills of the Dentelles de Montmirail for a perfect balance between freshness, roundness and structure.
Winemaking
Harvest at the coolest hours of the day. Traditional vinification.
