Time flies… fast, but the 2024 harvest is not too far away to remember the excellent harvest conditions that providence offered us. The hot, dry weather meant that the grapes were healthy, dense, extremely fruity and delicious to taste! The ideal conditions for making fine nectars.
After a dry end to the winter, which augured well for a disease-free spring, we had to redouble our vigilance from April onwards to keep a close eye on the development of mildew and treat in good time. The vine has its demands, and there are no holidays or weekends. Thanks to our attentive care and our precious ally, the Mistral, we were able to keep our harvest healthy right to the end, with a limited number of treatments!
In this respect too, our region is blessed: the frequency of the winds and their regularity help us to carry out good prophylaxis, without needing to use too many inputs, as other less privileged regions do! It’s an essential asset and a source of satisfaction for our environment.
The summer rains produced fresh, clear rosés from the PGI wines, and the blends from Sablet and Séguret give us a glimpse of rich, powerful wines that are still elegant and fruity when enjoyed young.
We vinified for the first time in our cellars the 1,000 hectolitres generously granted to us by our 27 hectares of vines.
Finally, Gigondas, true to its history and tradition, has once again amazed us …. An excellent vintage!
