AOC Côtes du Rhône and Rhone Valley:
The exceptional meteorological conditions in the Rhone Valley this year and the attentiveness of wine growers are yielding an exceptional harvest. The initial signs of good phenolic maturity that we publicised at the start of the harvest are being confirmed. 2007 will be a great vintage!

 |
Languedoc: An exciting harvest time is yielding a highly promising vintage in Languedoc
The comparatively mild summer is producing the beautiful acidic balance that is so keenly sought in these regions, where it is usually hot. So the AOC Languedoc, the latest arrival among the Languedoc AOC wines, seems to be receiving the most auspicious of welcomes from Mother Nature! Click here |
|
Roussillon: At last the “curse of years ending in 7” is at an end! The cool weather has allowed for a normal gain in alcoholic potency while keeping acidity loss to a minimum. In fact, thanks also to the perfect health of the vines, the wine growers have been able to wait without fear until their red grapes attained polyphenolic maturity. The harvest has been very or even too modest in quantity, but it has been of an exceptional quality that should be discussed for many a year …, Click here |
 |
Provence: Day/night temperature ranges have been wide, which has stimulated a good development of polyphenols and flavours. In health terms, the grapes have been of a very high quality everywhere, with nights remaining cool, meaning that we can expect the extraction of aromatic potential to be very good. Now that the harvest is in, we can say that it has the potential to be of excellent quality, Click here |
 |
Corsica: The white and rosé wines that constitute the major part of the island’s output possess great aromatic richness and good equilibrium at the end of alcoholic fermentation. As for the reds, it is trickier to pronounce judgement immediately after the harvest, but good maturity and a rigorous selection of plots should produce some beautiful wines, Click here |
