While 2023 Vintage was warm, it differs from 2022. The winter was calm and not overly cold. It still allowed the plants to rest and slightly replenish their water reserves. Spring 2023 did not bring many environmental challenges and allowed Domaine de l’Eveche to farm in the best conditions, without intrusive techniques. Summer was warm and yet, it never reached draught due to ideal punctual rains. 2023 is a rare vintage where both quantity and quality were high, delivering both ready to drink and ageable crafted wines.
