Saint Salonius - 2022 - Organic Wine

A delicate carmine color with ruby highlights adorns this cuvée. The first nose is delicate. Intense and deep aromas of redcurrant, violet and a touch of tobacco. Worn to the lips, this fine beverage reveals a delight of fleshy fruits, a greedy freshness, the silky tannins of a racy and unique pinot noir matured under the Mediterranean sun, a tribute to the distant Burgundian hillsides sublimated by the Cistercian monks.

2022 was a year full of challenges for the Mediterranean region Mediterranean region and for France. The winter of 2022 was mild, with little precipitation and drought will be the hallmarks of the year.

While vegetative growth was strong in the spring the lack of water slowed it down. On a positive note no cryptogamic disease pressure, but for the first year the yield was reduced by the this lack of water.
With the heat, the harvest was very early.

We started picking on 9 August the Pinot Noir grapes, and by 31 August all the grapes were in vats. We usually finish in the second half of September.
Bringing the harvest forward enabled us to stay within known parameters of sugar and acidity and to produce some fine cuvées.

The small number of highly concentrated grapes combined with and meticulous work in the cellar have produced a fine vintage quality of the vintage, with remarkable aromatic complexity.
