Guide Hachette 2** Coup de Coeur, Decanter (Steven Spurrier) **** 16/20
Rex Bibendi, meant "king of what to drink" among the Romans, more commonly known today as "the sommelier." It is precisely because they are accustomed to serving the finest wines and know their customers' expectations inside out that Serge Dubs and Markus Del Monego, both Meilleurs Sommeliers du Monde, were invited to create this sumptuous, high-quality cuvée. Worthy of a grand cru!
