    In a few words ...

    Les Romains is a cuvee typified by a combination of flint and limestone; its name refers to the remains of a Roman road crossing the plot. Les Romains will amaze by its freshness and precise minerality. A versatile wine that will delight in its present state and go on to reveal its full breadth after a few years cellaring.
