MÂCON-CRUZILLE (Organic and Biodynamic Agriculture)

Cruzille, such a magical name for all those who have visited this preserved area of viticultural countryside ! A place where cellular phones do not find any network to connect to. This new cuvée also comes from very old ploughed vines under Biological Agriculture.   A cousin to Vignes du Maynes to some extent (see next page). It is a confirmation in our opinion. This terroir delivers a unique fruit, a perfect balance which could very well single it out as a « cru du Mâconnais ».

There again, the 2008 fruit is « overwhelming ».
