The Beauvais vines are planted in hillside tuffeau, a chalky, porous limestone that retains water especially well and keeps the old vines hydrated through all kinds of conditions. This bottling, reminiscent of crushed blackberries, black cherries, and graphite, is proof that this is among the top terroirs for this grape.

This is the perfect food wine—your year-round companion that covers all your cuisine bases: from fresh antipasti to chicken in cream sauce, and on to grilled red meat.
