- Background
- A portion of the grapes that go into this wine often come from Premier Cru vineyards. In essence, this is a “half Premier Cru” wine, which explains why it is so good. The exclusive Saveur Club in France tasted this wine and wanted all of it. Chantal knows that I move a lot of this wine; so Chantal called me and asked what to do. I told her to give them half of it and to give me the other half. Quite a limited and exclusive distribution for an excellent wine.
- Tasting Notes
- Medium-full, with nice cherry and dark strawberry fruit. Good length to the finish.
