Cuvée Oncle Vincent
The 2020 vintage is a unique vintage. It is marked by historic precocity from budburst, with an advance of 3 weeks, until the harvest which took place entirely in the month of August. High temperatures associated with a lack of precipitation cause a significant water deficit as well as evapotranspiration phenomena in July and August. The absence of rain, on the other hand, allows the health of the grapes to be very satisfactory. The particular conditions of this vintage generate wonderful balances.

Tasting
Tasting note
We discover delicate aromas of white flowers such as hawthorn and dried fruits. The attack is frank, followed by a beautiful amplitude and a silky texture. The fruity and mineral aromas return in retro-olfaction, sometimes accompanied by light toasted and buttery notes.
Food pairings
It goes wonderfully with salmon blanquette, paella or even zucchini pasta.
