Comment
Winemaker's note: Wine vinified by Henri Gaunoux. Weather conditions: Frost episode on May 3rd. Intense heat in June followed by hailstorms. The quantity produced was minimal, with about 20% of the harvest in Les Rugiens. To celebrate the end of World War II, this vintage still produced exceptional wines. The Rugiens yielded extraordinary bottles. Harvest around September 19th.
(*)As the wines are lying in France, French VAT at a rate of 20% will be added to the hammer price and the buyer’s commission.
