"What a great discovery!"
A still confidential estate, Nicolas Fèvre's cuvées are a joy to discover. The result of the most natural winemaking possible, this Saint-Romain has a deep, intense red color. The nose is airy, with notes of notes of red fruit (raspberry cherry) with a mellow woodiness. The tannins are fine and silky structure and good length.
