“Les Vergers” is a parcel of Cru Régnié in an exceptional location. The vines are set in the heart of an orchard, on the outskirts of an old château. The first nose is very floral, followed by fruity aromas and hints of vanilla. The palate is suave, almost mineral, with pretty bitters on the finish. This wine for laying down needs time to develop fully.
