"David and Olivier Vullien dedicated this cuvée to their mother, as it was her favorite red wine. Aged in barrel for twelve months, this elegant Pinot with its aromas of cherry clafoutis, supported by a very light woodiness, reveals a well-fruited, supple and fine palate, with mellow tannins. Lots of charm and a "coup de coeur" proposition". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2018)

Very good mastery of Pinot Noir. Fruity, lively. Everyone loved it. PS: still as good after a second tasting.
