Emilien's words on the 2020 vintage: "Clearly structured for aging, don't hesitate to decant or at least give it time... not especially sunny nor especially cold, I'd say it plays on both 'temperatures' and I feel it in terms of textures as well as aromatic evolution. Often vertical (without being austere) upon opening, I insist (as always in fact, but some vintages like this one more than others) we gain so much by letting them breathe!"
I let you savor the lyricism of a beautiful poetic text by Emilien presenting his approach!
"I am proud to be a winemaker
To work with this vine that crosses rocks, capable of making its soil in stone.
This powerful plant, very resistant and at the same time very sensitive, has always had an intimate link with people wherever it has been established.
I love the relationship between its culture and nature.
Well-rooted, it spirals, voluble, exploratory.
Head in the stars, the vine allows me to keep my feet on the ground.
To make the invisible perceptible.
Earth or art? Terroir!"
