An intense and brilliant purple color with purple reflections adorns this Saint Honorat. A first nose on raspberry, blackberry, green pepper suggests a complex aromatic that we find in the mouth carried by a beautiful acidity and an intense tannic structure.
This great wine shows all its aging potential and leaves a smooth finish and a beautiful persistence.

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.
