"Splendid expression of its terroir!"
A 1er cru ideally situated just below the grand cru Corton Bressandes from which it derives its femininity and elegance, Les Valozières boasts a dark ruby, almost crimson color and a lovely bouquet of red fruits. Robust and distinguished, the palate is characterized by a firm, structured body, rich in chewiness and a very fine balance of tannins and acidity.
