By the way
The "Chemin des Croix" cuvée originates from a historic parcel in Morgon, located at Château Gaillard. A superb wine, fine and indulgent with a fresh, dynamic, and silky mouthfeel. Expressions of red fruits, along with notes of spices and underbrush, characterize this pure pleasure wine.
