Note: Guide Hachette 2**(Remarkable wine)
"As for Chaume 2010, born of old chenin (seventy years old), it bears witness to the secret magic of beige schist. A delicious, fresh nectar, also awarded two stars". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2013). A Chaume that first expresses itself with floral aromas (rosemary, basil) before blossoming into a bouquet of exotic fruits and mango... Racy and subtle!
