Frost damage was significant in mid-October and early November, reducing the flowerheads in the later-bursting varieties. Otherwise, spring was cloudy with good rains pre-flowering, followed by short bursts of hot weather in late November. Flowering was mostly early, occurring from mid-November onwards, with riesling showing the most consistent fruit set. The late-flowering varieties were impacted by heat at the end of November and showed some coulure in the bunches. Strong winds on 5 December 2020 damaged the canopies, but the slightly battered crop remained disease free.

VINTAGE NOTES Above average 2021 winter rainfall helped to refill soil profiles and the cool, slow start to the growing season resulted in budburst occurring slightly later than average. A frost event occurred on 11 October, followed by an extreme hail event on 28 October, and the cold and wet weather mid-November coincided with flowering, and impacted fruit-set and potential yields. December and January provided a burst of summer heat, however at the beginning of vintage another severe weather event dealt a deluge of rain and even more hail to some parts of the region. While mild and dry conditions followed, the cumulative impacts of the season’s weather events resulted in lower yields across the region.

En bouche, c’est la fraîcheur qui prend les devants. Une attaque vive, cristalline, qui s’arrondit doucement sans jamais s’alourdir. On pense à la peau d’une nectarine, à une pointe de pamplemousse, à quelques baies rouges écrasées. La texture est soyeuse, presque aérienne, portée par une acidité fine qui prolonge la finale. Un rosé sec, droit, mais d’une sensualité discrète. Servir à 10 °C. Tout indiqué à l’apéritif ou pour escorter la salade niçoise, les crudités, le cocktail de crevettes, le gaspacho, les langoustines à la lime, la pizza aux fruits de mer, ou les pattes de crabe.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinum Wine Magazine (91 \/ 100)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2024 Vintage | Tasted: Aug 2025 | When to drink: 2025 to 2027\u003cbr\u003e\"Helles Lachsrosa, Litschi, fruchtige Frische, schöne Balance zwischen Süße und Säure, leichtfüßig, elegant und animierend, gute Länge, nicht laut\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJancis Robinson (16 \/ 20)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2024 Vintage | Tasted: May 2025 | When to drink: 2025 to 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout This Wine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose is an explosion of fruit, with refined and straightforward aromas, evolving from white-fleshed fruits to exotic ones.
