The vintage
2024 has been full of weather challenges. Spring brought disease pressure, summer droughts reduced yields, and heavy rains in September added to the difficulties. Even so, the great quality of the wines reflects the skill, dedication, and great adaptability of our Artisans winegrowers and winemakers.

Located at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail Massif, the Sablet vineyard extends in the heart of Vaucluse on red clay soils mixed with rolled pebbles. Our vines stretch on gentle slopes with the ideal exposure for beautiful grapes bursting with sugars and freshness.

Aging in vats then in bottles.
Winemaking
The grains are carefully selected by hand and with great rigor. Direct pressing and skin maceration.

Citrus notes and white flowers blend together on the palate, creating a backdrop of freshness and elegance.
