8.8/10

A very elegant wine finish that harmonizes excellently with the Agricole and is neither dominant nor drowned in the freshness of the Agricole.

8.7/10

This is a nice Agricole and the cask finish has been done to perfection. I love that you get both the Agricole as well as the wine notes at the same time. The wine cask is not dominant but just hovering in there. Fresh and oily on the palate with a very nice and long finish.

Un profil assez vineux, sur les fruits confits et le boisé. C'est très bien fait mais pas le profil qui me plaît le plus. C'est très gourmand

Très belle découverte.. Le fut ne prend pas toute la place et c'est tant mieux.. Le mariage est vraiment intéressant et il y a une belle longueur..
