“A wonderful organic find, awarded 3 stars in the Hachette Guide. Instant pleasure!”
“The Bréhat’s bouquet opens with freshness, revealing chalky nuances combined with fruity notes. With good body, the wine shines above all for its temperament and its character, which is as incisive as it is savory. A mouthwatering wine that can be enjoyed both young and as it ages. ” (Yves Beck 2024) — Selected by *La Revue du vin de France* in its feature on wines under €15!
