Conditions météorologiques
2021 was marked by very capricious weather. There was a lot of rain in the spring. An episode of frost at the beginning of April caused major damage. The summer was very mild, with no extreme heat. At the end of August, fine weather set in, with high temperatures during the day and cool nights: ideal conditions for ripening the grapes. These last few weeks were crucial to the success of this vintage.

Dégustation
Colour, good depth, and a lovely cherry red, with some violet highlights.
The nose is marked by notes of peony, crisp fruit (cherry), enhanced by a hint of peppery notes.
The attack is frank. There is a very nice volume in the middle of the mouth. The tannic structure is average; the tannins are well blended. The red fruits (cherry), previously perceived on the nose, are found here in the mouth. It is a gourmet, digestible wine, very easy to drink.
