Madam, Sir,
Chers Amateurs de nos terroirs,
This year, many of you came to visit us at the estate, taste our wines, and stay in our beautiful Villa Sainte Anne—it was a true pleasure to welcome you! Between a vibrant 2025 harvest and ongoing cellar work, the release of the excellent 2023 vintage, and the awards our white wines have received, here are the latest news from the estate that we are excited to share with you.
Finally, we invite you to join us for our very first hiking-trail event through the heart of the vineyard, a unique opportunity to experience the estate in a whole new way.
End of the 2025 Harvest in Gigondas
2025: A Year Full of Surprises! A succession of hot, cool, and rainy periods has shaped a low-yield harvest. Early tastings suggest a vintage with concentrated and complex aromas, fine and silky tannins, and moderate alcohol levels.
Our new winery will be ready for the 2026 harvest !
Since 2022, we have been nurturing the project of building a winery where we could vinify and age all of our wines, bringing together our three current sites: Romane, La Machotte, and the village cellar. Construction began in June 2024 and will be completed by February 2026, giving us time to prepare the interior in time for the 2026 harvest.
The upper floor, built with natural Beaulieu stone, will house the grape reception area as well as the tanks for red, rosé, and white wines. The lower floor will be a partially underground aging cellar, designed to provide optimal conditions for our oak barrels and casks.
2023 Vintage: A Historic Year in Gigondas
The year 2023 will be etched in stone for the winemakers of Gigondas. On one hand, the appellation unveils its very first white wine, long awaited and carrying a new story. On the other, our estate reaches a major milestone with its first harvest certified as organic. The 2023 vintage was marked by a hot summer and a heatwave at the end of August, followed by beneficial storms. The wines combine richness, freshness, and balance, with silky tannins and generous fruit.
Two 2024 whites awarded by the Guide Hachette des vins 2026
This year, two of our cuvées were recognized by the prestigious 2026 Hachette Wine Guide. The 2024 Gigondas Romane Machotte white captivates with its mineral precision, saline freshness, and delicate notes of flowers and citrus. Meanwhile, the 2024 Cairanne Les Hautes Rives white shines with its generous roundness, aromas of white fruits, and elegant texture. These two distinct personalities reflect the full richness of the Southern Rhône and showcase our commitment to crafting wines that stay true to their terroir.
