Hachette Guide 2** “Coup de Coeur,” Decanter (Steven Spurrier) **** 16/20
Rex Bibendi meant “the king of what to drink” in Roman times, a role more commonly known today as “the sommelier.” It is precisely because they are accustomed to serving the finest wines and know their customers’ expectations best that Serge Dubs and Markus Del Monego—both World’s Best Sommeliers—were invited to create this sumptuous, high-quality cuvée. Truly worthy of a grand cru!
