A tribute to Jean-Luc Buffeteau’s grandmother, the vineyard’s founder, Yvonne marks a return to the roots, to the essentials. A single-varietal Merlot with no added sulfur, this wine offers elegance and flavor. A few weeks of patience and an hour of aeration will be needed to fully enjoy this lovely, smooth, and fruity wine.
