(blackcurrant, raspberry, ...), a wonderful expression of the 55% Pinot Meunier

exotic fruits, signs of the maturity of this Cuvée, obtained with
lengthy ageing sur lattes for 3 years and perfect workmanship of the Chef

The citrus fruits and red fruits are evident,
bolstered by a delicate hint of chocolate
