- TASTING NOTE: "Expressive and fruity, this Mercurey wine discloses aromas of raspberry and cherry. It is a light, fresh wine with very soft tannins, making it easy to drink even when young" 91 Points - Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2022
- ABOUT THE WINE: The vines for this wine are planted beneath the Clos des Grands Voyens, at the bottom of the slope where the land is almost flat with deep and rich soil due to erosion from the hill above. The grapes picked and sorted entirely by hand, cold macerated for 15 to 10 days in vat with regular cap punching and pumping over for optimal extraction of tannin and aromas. Aged in lightly toasted oak barrels for 12 months (20% new)
