“Crisp and tensely fruity, this wine has layers of
acidity as well as citrus and rich yellow fruits. The
texture, still young, is well etched and will propel
the wine forward. Drink from 2022.” —R.V.

were planted. He also modernized the viticultural and winegrowing

Roger’s two sons, Laurent and Claude began working with him. They
are now the two owners of this beautiful inheritance. Planted on
slopes with renowned aspects and terroirs,
