This red IGP wine carries the name of Fabienne’s grandfather, Justinien Moutte, under whose management the Domaine de la Marseillaise flourished between the two world wars, and to whom we pay tribute by this 2017 cuvée.
I, Pierre Sautou, wanted to make a wine how I love wine: voluptuous, fruity, and well balanced, not needing to be drunk with a meal to be enjoyed.
A wine to drink purely for the pleasure.
