Vintage : 2025
The 2025 vintage was shaped by pronounced climatic contrasts. A spring rich in rainfall helped build essential water reserves, while the particularly hot summer accelerated the vine’s growth cycle. This combination led to an early harvest, carried out with precision to preserve the grapes’ natural balance.
Picked from mid‑August onward, the crop stood out for its impeccable health and perfectly controlled ripeness. Fermentations unfolded smoothly, allowing for a pure and precise expression of the grape variety.
The 2025 Grande Sélection Pinot Noir embodies a demanding vintage, where mastering ripeness and honoring the fruit were key to revealing a wine of great accuracy, combining concentration, freshness, and harmony.
