Technical Details
Description
Benefitting from its easterly exposure which guarantees maximum ripeness for the Chardonnay grapes, this wine has a luscious golden colour and it offers a wealth of exotic ripe fruit aromas and a viscous sensation in the mouth. The finish is truly opulent. It can develop for over 15 years. This wine won the Coup de Coeur in the 1996 Guide Hachette.
