"The green gold of lime changes in the glass. As soon as it hits the palate, a fat, long fruitiness refines its mouthfeel with a tracing finish. Drink now and over two years with frogs' legs." (Le Guide des bonnes affaires du vin 2016 - Gerbelle & Maurange)

The Domaine des Rois Mages was created in 1984 by Anne-Sophie Debavelaere, and has since been enriched by vineyards in Rully, Bouzeron and Beaune, to make up today's 11 hectares, all of which are cultivated using sustainable methods.
