Presentation
Maison Cascavel stands out for its artisanal approach to crafting exceptional wines. We closely collaborate with the winegrowers & passionately invest ourselves in every stage of the process. From meticulously identifying vineyard parcels to providing dedicated support to our partners, we are committed to offer handcrafted wines that embody the authenticity and personality of each appellation.
The vintage
2023 was full of contrast! Warm temperatures at the beginning of winter, then a return to normalcy until February; Spring was characterized by a persistent drought and strong wind, followed by regular rainfall until the end of June. Our winegrower partners have worked a lot in the vineyards to preserve the grapes. At the beginning of the harvest, berries were healthy and well-ripened, promising one of the finest vintages of the past decade.
