The 2020 vintage in Southern Rhône, particularly in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, was favored by very good weather conditions. This year was windy throughout the growing cycle with light rainfalls. Winter was mild, followed by a radiant, warm and windy spring. Optimum weather continued in the summer, with cool nights preserving freshness in the grapes. Ideal harvest conditions yielded grapes at perfect maturity with balanced alcohols, acidity, and structure.

The Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation produces wines that are blends of different grape varieties, therefore, vinification depends on the component grapes and their varietals. Traditional vinification is carried out in closed concrete tanks. The vatting period usually lasts for around 3 weeks, at high temperature to ensure the maximum extraction of color and tannins.
