Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
A classic estate in the Mercurol sector, which consistently produces supple wines intended for early consumption. The Gaby cuvée is often more ambitious, with sometimes slightly excessive oakiness in certain vintages with low yields. The reds here are more successful than the whites, as confirmed by our tasting of the 2017 vintage.
