Ratings: Robert Parker: 91–93/100, RVF (2008) 15.5/20, Bettane and Desseauve (2008) 15/20
A sulfur-free cuvée specially crafted with a minimalist approach, seeking the "wine's true expression"! A vintage with character, featuring a long, structured finish.

Guard
Pour apprécier à sa juste valeur cette remarquable cuvée élaborée sans adjonction de souffre (SO2), il est indispensable de la conserver en cave à une température constante (14°C max.) Il convient également de la carafer énergiquement et longuement avant le service afin d'éliminer la présence du gaz carbonique issu de la fermentation, qui la protège de l'oxydation et qui est indispensable pour sa longue conservation.<br/>
Food and wine pairings
Un vin gourmand qui s'appréciera sur une estouffade de boeuf, un lièvre à la Royale, un canard aux olives, un pigeon aux épices...<br/>
