Provence

Defining the 2025 vintage in Provence requires looking beyond the averages, as it was a year of contrasting fortunes and precise timing.

The cycle began with a harmonious flowering period. Warm days (avg 24°C) allowed for an even fruit set, establishing the potential for a generous crop.

Summer turned up the intensity. With 27 days soaring above 35°C, the vines faced a stress test. Yet, thanks to sufficient water reserves, the canopy remained green, protecting the clusters from sunburn. A key factor was the dramatic diurnal shift (13°C), ensuring that despite the daytime warmth, acidities remained razor-sharp.

Harvest proceeded under mixed skies, requiring agility to dodge the 69mm of rain that fell sporadically during the picking weeks.

**Style:** Classically proportioned wines with good balance and terroir expression.
