RVF

Elegant and well-balanced, the Croix de Montceau cuvée reveals aromas of brioche and white flowers on the nose. This white wine has a clean, lively attack on the palate, followed by some very pleasant toasted notes. The lingering finish leaves a sensation of great smoothness, giving the wine a unique character. A truly lovely bottle!
