The vintage
This vintage was strongly impacted by a centenary episode of frost in April 2021, but fortunately, the plots of our wine higher in altitude, are later, and did not suffer too much from the frost.
Location
The vines of Les Gourmandises d'Emma Blend wines are located on the plains adjoining Mont Ventoux for the reds and whites, and the Massif du Luberon for the rosés. These vines benefit from exceptional sunshine and refreshing air currents from the summits.

The southern slope of the Luberon Massif, which corresponds to the Pays d'Aigues on the eastern side, is essentially composed of marls, pebbles and limestone from the Miocene, which is appropriate for the production of fine and elegant wines.

Directly put into vats this winemaking process favors aromas and freshness (static racking). Low temperature alcoholic fermentation. No malolactic fermentation, not even partially. Then the wines are left to rest on fine lees at cold temperatures, and then blended following the chosen styles.
