Guide Hachette 2** Coup de Coeur, Decanter (Steven Spurrier) **** 16/20 Rex Bibendi, signifiait chez les romains “le roi de ce qu’il faut boire”, plus communément appelé aujourd'hui "le sommelier". C'est justement parce qu'ils ont l'habitude de servir les meilleurs crus et qu'ils connaissent au mieux l'attente de leurs clients que Serge Dubs et Markus Del Monego, tous deux Meilleurs Sommeliers du Monde, ont été conviés à élaborer cette somptueuse cuvée de grande qualité. Digne d'un grand cru !.
