Peissy, March 2013

Dear Madam, dear Sir, dear Friends

The 2012 wine year was marked by a capricious weather that played on winemakers' nerves. The cellared volumes are modest and of good quality. However, if the beginning of autumn led to numerous rainfall events, there were ideal conditions for a late fall harvest. At the Domain, we decided to pick the grapes later. This has proved to be beneficial in contributing to an excellent sanitary state of the grapes and to an optimal maturity.

The first tastings of the 2012 vintage were promising.The white wines reveal beautiful fruity flavors, typical of their grape variety. Regarding the red wines, the structure is harmonious and well-balanced.

Better that all our words, it is the right time for you to discover for yourself the 2012 vintage as well as our 2011 wines which have been matured in barrels. Please pay us a visit at the Domaine and note that we are open at the following hours:

Monday to Friday: from 09h00 to 12h00 and from 14h00 to 18h00
Saturday: from 09h00 to 12h00 and from 14h00 to 17h00
(closed on public holidays)
