2020 will be remembered as a sun-drenched, early vintage on the Loire. A hot, dry summer, harvest beginning as early as late August in impeccable condition, and grapes brought to optimal ripeness by wide temperature swings late in the season. The reds show concentration, aromatic intensity, and ripe tannins.
The deep garnet robe with ruby highlights announces a fine, elegant nose, blending ripe black fruit with well-integrated woody notes after several years in the cellar. The palate is full and silky, carried by the vintage's natural richness and perfectly integrated barrel ageing. The tannins, now velvety, give this wine an elegant, persistent texture — a fine maturity that reflects the ageing potential of this schist terroir.
