Presentation
Presentation
Since time immemorial, the villagers of Roaix have met on the village square to share and celebrate Provencal traditions. The Roaix vineyard offers rich and robust wines, like its neighbor, Cru de Rasteau, with a touch of suppleness.
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.
