Scores : RVF - Le Classement des Meilleurs Vins de France: 16.5/20
One of the two cuvées paying tribute to the ancestors who wrote the first pages of the domaine's history, made from the oldest vines with very low yields. With its delicate yellow-gold color, this vintage evokes honey and vanilla on a very mineral base.
