Bourgogne Passetoutgrain La Piquette

Wonderfully refreshing, with a nose full of small summer fruits. Juicy and spicy on the palate, with sour cherry, minerality and black tea, with an invigoratingly pure aftertaste. This wine is made without added sulfites.

Excellent as an accompaniment to charcuterie.
