Château de la Gardine - Générations Marie-Léoncie 2001
Notes: RVF - The Ranking of France's Best Wines: 16.5/20
One of two cuvées paying homage to the ancestors who wrote the first chapters of the estate's history, made from the oldest vines with very low yields. With a very delicate golden-yellow hue, this vintage evokes honey and vanilla on a very mineral foundation .
