2023 will be remembered as a contrasted vintage on the Loire. A difficult spring under mildew pressure was offset by a hot summer and a lovely late season that allowed satisfying ripeness to be reached. For those who sorted carefully and waited, the reds show concentration, aromatic generosity, and ripe tannins — a grower's vintage, rewarding patience and rigour in the vineyard.
The intense purple robe with violet highlights announces an exuberant, generous nose centred on bright raspberry and warm blackberry. The palate is full and enveloping, carried by an almost creamy texture and remarkably smooth tannins for a wine of this age. The sun-drenched, concentrated 2023 vintage expresses itself here in full. A beautiful, fresh, fruity length concludes the tasting.
