Vintage : 2024

In 2024, the south of France experienced contrasting climatic conditions: a mild winter followed by spring frosts, and then significant rainfall until the beginning of summer. These cumulative hazards favoured the development of diseases, particularly mildew, with an impact on the health of the vines. Yields were lower than expected and down compared to the previous year, because of these diseases but also the persistent drought for several years which weakened the vines. The harvest began at the end of August and extended until September, with heterogeneous harvests depending on the sector, due to climatic and health disparities.
