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