Notes: RVF - Ranking of the Best Wines of France: 16.5/20
One of two vintages paying tribute to the ancestors who wrote the first pages of the estate's history, produced from the oldest vines with very low yields. With a very delicate golden yellow color, this vintage evokes honey and vanilla on a very mineral base .
