Cuvée à nos pères
A tribute to our elders, Henri Benet and René Gartich, this confidential cuvée is made from grape varieties aged exclusively in amphorae, allowing the powerful aroma to shine through, with fruit taking center stage.
Notes of ripe fruit, spices, and pepper.
A dynamic and elegant attack. Silky, enveloping tannins.
A smooth mouthfeel with aromas of black fruits, spices and peppery notes.
Ideal for game dishes.
