Fruit of a know-how that the men and women of the cellar are passed on from generation to generation, this cuvée aims to pay tribute to those who, like Robert and Marcel, have gained from the development of the cellar.

Reviews
"The brilliant deep garnet red color with purple nuances opens on an intense and attractive nose which combines the smells of red and black fruit jams (raspberry, blackberry, blueberry) with roasted notes (toasted bread, caramel, vanilla). The mouth with a supple attack offers a fleshy substance, smoothness, volume, a nice balance, as well as grilled and spicy aromas which coat melted tannins, then persist in a structured and long finish. Beautiful Saumur Puy Notre Dame." [+]
