Note : 2**(Vin Remarquable) Guide Hachette 2012
"This cuvée Savin, a barrel-aged Petit Manseng, is our favorite. Intensely golden, it offers a powerful nose blending ripe fruit, candied citrus, honey and spices with a rich woodiness and hints of cedar. On the palate, it combines richness and concentration, depth and complexity. Above all, it shows remarkable balance, with a long, acidic finish that indicates interesting potential." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2012)
