"An explosion of flavors that unfold with extraordinary precision and purity: a true Favorite Paris 2026!"

“The 2021 Arvine has a clear, deep, and serene nose that is at once intense and elegant, combining fresh aromas of lime and lemon with notes of lees and flint. It is very elegant and refined on the palate, with ripe, juicy fruit and a well-balanced body. This is an intense, concentrated, and balanced Petite Arvine, featuring fine tannins, ripe and briny acidity, and a stimulating, briny finish. It is still young but displays great class and beautiful structure. The finish of this slow-evolving wine is very long and suggests excellent aging potential. Declared alcohol content: 13.3%. Natural cork. Tasted in Vétroz, March 2025. 2025–2035” (Robert Parker 2025)
