After a successful three days at Wine Paris, the team is in deep preparation for Prowein. After our new releases made their debut at Wine Paris, to much praise, they will be available to taste along with the 2023 vintage.
2023 Vintage
The 2023 Vintages of Languedoc were marked by extreme temperatures. The cool breezes off the Mediterranean helped preserve them during the extended periods of intense heat. This helped to slow the maturation process. Despite this, the acidity levels were looking steady around the harvest. The 2023 vintage of our rosés has a lively brightness and will be available for tasting at Prowein 2024.
New Releases
Le Bijou de Sophie Valrose – Macabeu and Vermentino
The new additions include two exceptional whites to the Le Bijou de Sophie Valrose range, a Macabeu and Vermentino. Both celebrate the rich winemaking heritage of the Roussillon region with these indigenous grape varieties. On the border with Spain, the vineyards benefit from a Mediterranean climate.. The typical regional character can be fully experienced in this Macabeu. The Vermentino hails from sites located in the Agly Valley, where the sea breezes help to cool the vines on hot, sunny days, and the Pyrenees winds descend from the snowy caps of the mountains, keeping them cool at night.
Éminence de Bijou – Chardonnay and Pinot Noir
It isn’t just the Le Bijou de Sophie Valrose range that will gain new additions. Our premium, gastronomic range Éminence de Bijou will also expand to include two exquisite limited quantity
wines from the higher altitude vineyards of Limoux, where the vineyards are set in the upper reaches of the River Aude. A Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the unique terroir of the region leaves a mark on these wines in their undeniable freshness. Both are aged for six months in French oak barrels, providing a complex and robust flavour profile.
We can’t wait to offer these new wines at Prowein for you to taste. If you would like to drop by our stand to hear more about the new wines, or taste them along with the 2023 vintages, please come and see us. Hall 10, F18.
