Winter was mild and dry, resulting in very early budburst. While the mistral wind, which had been very present since the beginning of the year, kept the vineyards in good health, there was virtually no rain in the spring. We observed the first Grenache flowers on May 9. July and August were particularly hot and dry (no rain since 4 mm on May 4), and quite windy. Harvesting began on August 16 and ended on September 8.

The grapes are picked and sorted by hand, according to their polyphenolic ripeness (depending on the evolution of the maturity, two to three analytical tests and berry tastings are carried out every week in order to determine the optimum harvest date). In the press room, the berries are destemmed, slightly treaded and transferred into stainless steel vats. The alcoholic fermentation is run to extract optimum fruit and color, but also to produce an elegant wine. Maceration lasts about 10 days. Once the malolactic fermentation is over, the wines are stored into concrete vats. Two or three racking were accomplished during the ageing. The wine is blended in tanks and bottled at the Château.
