It is between Valence and Montélimar that the climate really changes. The temperature rises and the landscape takes on a Mediterranean character. The steep terraces of the northern part of the valley give way to vast expanses of vines in a landscape of rolling hills, where thirteen different red and white grape varieties are grown in the traditional way. The wines are elegant, sun-drenched and generous.

- Nose :slightly closed on opening. Notes of black fruit and menthol with a hint of cold tobacco.
- Palate : full, enveloping, with still a tightly basis.
Tasting date : December 2023.
OUR OPINION : this vintage still needs to be decanted to reach its full potential. It doesn't open up straight away, and I think you need to wait a little longer, as it needs to mature a little more. If drunk young, it should be decanted an hour before serving.
