2020 will be remembered for its extraordinarily changeable climate. The mild, wet winter generously replenished groundwater reserves, allowing budbreak to occur early. The warm, wet spring beat all records for temperatures and rainfall, stimulating intense growth, good foliage development, and early flowering. The typically Mediterranean summer, with the absence of rain and high temperatures, allowed the vines to mature serenely. Harvesting began on August 18th, 10 days ahead of usual, with each variety being picked at optimal maturity. 2020 promises to be an exceptional vintage.

Winery | The grapes for the 'Source of Joy' come from organically grown vineyards in the Languedoc, where the terroir was recognized by Louis XIV as an exceptional place for producing rosés. The combination of two soils, schist and limestone, with a hilly terrain has created a complex network of underground water that ensures an exceptional source of pure water for the vineyards. The vines benefit from the Mediterranean climate, long sunshine hours, dry growing season, and a cooling influence from the nearby Mediterranean Sea, resulting in concentrated fruit with naturally balancing freshness. |
