2010 is a well-balanced vintage, that is highly representative of the wines from the northern part of the Rhone Valley. The year’s growing cycle started off well, thereby preserving the vineyard from both mildew and oidium. Unfortunately, the flowering period was situated between the 15th and the 20th of June, at the same time as cool and rainy weather conditions, recalling the month of October. This situation led to a decrease in fertility, thereby reducing the yield of some parcels by about 30%. Thankfully, the summer was sunny and dry. This season was followed by a splendid September and October, thereby allowing us to harvest magnificent top quality grapes around the 10th of October.
When it comes to the white wines, they are fruity and digest, often with a less than usual alcohol content for the region.
