The harvest is in
A little news from the vines to your table.
This year's harvest came early. We picked the first white grapes on 11 August, pressed the first rosé and white on 30 August, and brought in the last grapes on 23 September: a very small batch for our Prestige red.
It was a demanding summer in the Luberon. Four times this summer, the temperature passed 40°C for days on end, so every decision in the vines mattered.
The hard work paid off. The grapes came in beautifully, with around 55,000 bottles of rosé on the way.
“We are very happy with the result, and the quantities are there. It was a busy season at the vineyard but it is always great to see the literal fruits of our labour!”ALEX, OUR WINEMAKER
The new wines are now taking shape in the cellar, and we'll share news of them as soon as they're ready. A big thank you to the whole team at the estate for all their hard work.
Reds for the autumn
As the evenings draw in, our reds come into their own. JJ Prestige Rouge is a blend of Grenache and Syrah, generous and easy to love. Légende is our richest red, made for slow dinners and the Sunday roast.
