Notes : Robert Parker: 91-93/100, RVF (2008) 15,5/20, Bettane et Desseauve (2008) 15/20
A sulphur-free cuvée specially developed in a spirit of low interventionism, in search of "free expression of the wine"! A vintage of character, with a long, structured finish.

Guard
Pour apprécier à sa juste valeur cette remarquable cuvée élaborée sans adjonction de souffre (SO2), il est indispensable de la conserver en cave à une température constante (14°C max.) Il convient également de la carafer énergiquement et longuement avant le service afin d'éliminer la présence du gaz carbonique issu de la fermentation, qui la protège de l'oxydation et qui est indispensable pour sa longue conservation.<br/>
Food and wine pairing
Un vin gourmand qui s'appréciera sur une estouffade de boeuf, un lièvre à la Royale, un canard aux olives, un pigeon aux épices...<br/>
