“David and Olivier Vullien have dedicated this cuvée to their mother because it is her favorite red wine. Aged in barrels for twelve months, this elegant Pinot, with aromas of cherry clafoutis complemented by very subtle oak notes, reveals a fruity, supple, and refined palate with well-integrated tannins. It’s full of charm and a standout choice.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2018)

Review by Mr. NICOLAS P. Posted on 02/22/2018

A superb interpretation of Pinot Noir. Fruity and lively. Everyone loved it. P.S.: Just as good on a second tasting
