Short recommendation >
This cuvee is made only in the years we consider of amazing quality. Otherwise, the wine is blended with La Sagesse cuvee. Should keep at least 3 years before opening. Short decanting before service is recommended. This wine can last several years in good cellar conditions (15 years).
