Notes : RVF 17,5/20, Gault Millau 17/20, Bettane & Desseauve 16,5/20
"Complex, racy nose of tobacco and dried fruit. Tight and concentrated on the palate, with a long, refined, well-balanced, taut finish". (Le Grand Guide des Vins de France 2011 - Bettane & Desseauve). More powerful than the Loïs brouilly, the 2008 cuvée "Les Feuillées" proves superbly successful, with a chewy, fleshy texture and the Laurent Martray signature of perfect balance and generosity!
