“An authentic cuvée built around Gros Manseng, with a touch of Baroque to firmly anchor it within the appellation. It boasts a complex and elegant nose, opening with notes of yellow flowers followed by apricot. Rich and full-bodied, it is round and fresh on the palate, with a long finish. A lovely wine to enjoy with a meal. ” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022). A must-try!
