Ce domaine avant-gardiste du sud de la Loire, près de Poitiers, avec lequel nous travaillons depuis plus de 25 ans, produit des vins de cépage modernes et biologiques. Ce délicieux pinot noir ouvert présente une robe pourpre sombre et brillante. Au nez, il offre des arômes appétissants et plutôt savoureux de Pata Negra et de poivre, qui évoluent vers des notes plus florales de violette et de cerise. En bouche, le vin est doux et juteux, avec des saveurs de mûres et de prunes. Doux et rond, mais avec un intéressant mordant tannique vers la fin, c'est un beau vin avec une longue finale et une résonance attrayante.
2022 is a miraculous vintage. It was the year that the vine showed its resilience to climate change and adapted to both the heat and the drought that were present throughout the summer, to make elegant, fresh, fruity wines that often showed the best of the terroirs in which they grow. We have never seen anything like it!
I want to take you back to the end of August. We were nervous. Talk around us was that yet again, harvesting in Bordeaux was beginning at the earliest dates ever recorded. We walked around our vineyards nervously checking the state of the vine leaves; noticing the cracks in the parched soil; consulting again and again all the different weather apps we had on our telephones. Absolutely not necessary to check our rain monitors; they had been dry for months.
We have been through quite a roller coaster. When I wrote this introduction at the same time last year, we were preparing for the 2021 wine harvest, unsure as to whether we would have much of a crop after the biblical storms of hail, frost and rain that are vines had endured. It was not until the beginning of 2022 after the third omicron wave of Covid had hit us face on, that we took time in our cellars to assess the vintage. To our great surprise, the wines were lovely and fresh; classic in style with a coolness and a minerality which suited the autumn fruit flavours. It is a vintage which will grow in stature as the wines age.
