A mid-range cuvée, Eau Forte is also one of the last created by Jean-Claude Lapalu. Slightly effervescent upon opening, this wine—made from grapes harvested from vines that yield a generous amount of juice—expresses pure fruit and a dense, structured body. A refreshing cuvée full of character and complexity that flows effortlessly.
