RVF
Elegant and well blended, Cuvée Croix de Montceau reveals aromas of brioche and white flowers on the nose. A white wine with a clean, lively attack on the palate, followed by some very pleasant toasty notes. The lingering finish leaves an impression of great sweetness, giving the whole a unique personality. A very pretty bottle!
