Le P'tit Rouge is the first red we make every vintage. Earlier picks, before the fruit warms up and gets plush. It's how we figure out what the year is giving us.

2024 gave us forty-year-old vines with structure and a cool growing season that kept everything taut. Deep ruby color that looks powerful, then opens with fruit that's neither cranberry-tart nor currant-sweet, somewhere between the two, if you could combine them. Whole cluster fermentation, mineral backbone, enough elegance to keep you pouring after the food's gone.

This is for those dinners where platters spill off the edges of the table. Potluck or someone went ham on the grill. Not courses, just food everywhere.
