Production Details The 2020 growing season was less hot than 2019, windy and relatively dry, with cool, humid nights helping preserve freshness and grape health. The estate harvest began on 26 August with Côtes-du-Rhône whites and continued through late September with Mourvèdre; this is estate-wide context rather than a Hommage picking date. The exact-vintage importer sheet identifies the grapes as certified organic.

Production Details Budbreak occurred in early April, flowering progressed under good conditions, and a heatwave began in late June. The vines showed limited water stress; chamomile infusions were sprayed on the canopy to help them withstand the heat. Harvest proceeded at its customary timing without unusual earliness.
