NOTES : 92pts Robert PARKER – Wine Advocate.
Rare schist soils with exceptionally low yields (20hl/ha) and old, deeply-rooted vines provide great depth and astounding balance to this wine.
Frère et Soeur is the fruit of our best plots.
It is a rare and exclusive wine made with no compromises.
In 2018 only 1900 bottles of this artisanal and exclusive cuvée were produced.
