It refers this particular vineyard site from which they had purchased grapes until 1961 when they stopped purchasing grapes and began producing wines exclusively from their own vineyards. Color: Burgundy Aroma: Reveals a perfume of black fruits, truffles, earth and a spice box. Taste: Dense, massive yet seamless, this beautifully integrated wine possesses low read more...acidity as well as a terrific finish. (hide)
