Also taut Sauvignon Blanc as king white, Chardonnay and reds on Atlantic slopes. Ultra-cool maritime climate, heritage prestige.

The word of the wine: Breeding
It can last for several years. The bottles are stacked in the cellars and waited for the light and heat. The yeasts gradually give the wine compounds that enrich it. A long maturation is a guarantee of quality.
