092. MON BOUQUET 2020 ... 0,75 l

This new creation explores non-traditional combinations, bringing together our five grape varieties, with Petit Verdot (planted in 2013), an unusual grape for our region, and Malbec, which enhance the wine. Every year, the blending and ageing processes are different depending on the nature of the vintage and what approach the winegrower decides to take. This is in line with the development of our creative range. Like an arrangement of flowers in a bouquet, the label appeals to the senses, with embossed letters and different colours for each bottle.
