2025 Harvest Report: a Bright and Fragrant Vintage

2025 harvest report — it’s the smile of a beautiful success at Domaine des Oullières. We couldn’t be happier! Indeed, despite the whims of the weather, the cellar shines with wonderful results. Yes, precision, rigour, and passion have borne fruit. And what a joy to see quality flowing from the vats and barrels — and soon into the glasses!

A 2025 harvest report full of balance, freshness and expression

First, fermentations ran calmly and under perfect control. The sugars are now fully consumed, and the acid balance is spot on. In short, everything breathes harmony. Then, the alcohol levels are comfortable — neither too high nor too low — a promise of elegant and refined wines.

Next, the whites have clearly stolen the show this year. Rolle, in particular, delights with its pale, luminous robe and expressive aromas of bergamot, candied ginger and white peach. On the palate, it offers a silky texture, generous yet never heavy, with a delicately citrusy finish. Sauvignon shines with energy and precision, offering notes of lime zest, mandarin and white blossom — pure sunshine in a glass. And Muscat? It charms with its bouquet of lemongrass, fresh ginger and rosewater. It perfectly embodies the Provençal style — bright, fresh, and radiant.

The rosés tell their own beautiful story. Some evoke vine peach, raspberry and wild strawberry. Others recall ripe pear, jasmine and orange blossom. The mouthfeel is tender and long, always balanced by a touch of saline minerality. Yes, pleasure will be immediate from the very first tastings.

A 2025 harvest report marked by mastery, colour and intensity

And yet, this vintage was not an easy one. Provence faced an extreme summer, with heatwaves and repeated rain showers. But the vines held firm, thanks to well-managed irrigation and careful harvesting. As a result, the grapes reached excellent ripeness, carrying superb aromatic potential.

Moreover, the reds already show great promise. The carbonic macerations deliver deep notes of black fruit, pepper, cocoa and tapenade. On the palate, the texture is dense, velvety, and full of energy. The tannins are softening beautifully, promising round, generous wines after ageing.

Finally, the cellar is running smoothly. The new presses have streamlined operations, analyses confirm the precision of the work, and the malolactic fermentations have unfolded admirably. Everything is in place, built with patience and consistency.

In summary, this 2025 harvest report reflects a year filled with light, balance and mastery. The whites shine with brightness, the rosés with finesse, and the reds with depth. Despite the challenges of the weather, Domaine des Oullières signs a harmonious, intensely aromatic and deeply seductive vintage. Yes, 2025 will be a year to savour — with pride, joy, and gratitude for a job well done.
And now, a new stage awaits: the blending. We can’t wait to see how all these aromas, textures and colours will combine to reveal the true personality of the 2025 vintage.
