Presentation
Famous for its bell tower "clocher" in French and its typical Mediterranean little streets, the village of Visan is also a famous place for winegrowing. Located in the most northern part of the region, like the Cru Vinsobres, and with its vines growing on hills, the wines of Visan are full of freshness and finesse.
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.
