« Madeline Ferran is at the forefront but Gilles, her father, is not far away. Same kindness, same passion, same rigour and same taste for sharing. For her, the 2022 vintage has not been easy. “It took a long time to ferment, the tannins were hard, so we put our vats in a pot, immersing the cap for a fortnight” she explains.
La Ponce takes a floral tangent, made of sweet spices in a silky, elegant expression, on a slightly vanilla finish.
The old Grenache vines of the Cuvée Héritage produce the same effect of fluidity in the mouth, with a minty sensation. A safe bet! »
