A tribute to Jean-Luc Buffeteau's grandmother, the vineyard's founder, Yvonne marks a return to basics. A Merlot monocépage, with no added sulfur, this wine confers elegance and flavor. A few weeks' patience and an hour's aeration are all that's needed to fully enjoy this pretty, suave, fruity juice.
