Description
Dominique Lafon sees this cuvée as the quintessential summer wine. It's floral, fruity and inviting, with a crisp, refreshing finish. It comes from a variety of different vineyards, and it includes some declassified fruit from more famous names. The 2020 vintage is simply perfect: it’s rich yet fresh, concentrated yet light on its feet. It’s even bottled under screwcap for extra convenience, making it the perfect picnic partner. Drink now to 2024.

Critics reviews
87/100
A very fresh and bright nose speaks of mostly citrus and ripe white orchard fruit aromas. The unusually dense, delicious and seductively textured middle weight flavors possess fine volume while exhibiting a refreshing touch of salinity on the dry and clean finish. This tender and round effort should drink well shortly after release.Drink 2022+burghound_com.com (Oct 2010)
