Reviews
"One of the last vineyards to be picked. The holding is in the original part of Murgers des Dents de Chien nearer en Remilly. A pale lemon colour. A little white fruit on the nose but in fact very undemonstrative at the moment. Then a huge wave of ripe apple fruit with some just about plum
notes, picked at the end of the month. Perfect until that little extra ripeness at the back."
