Philippe and Anne Marie Bourcier work the vines with their three children. « Romy » refers to their granddaughter and this prestige cuvée is a fitting tribute to her. She had the chance to taste this perfectly aged wine on her 18th birthday in 2020! A family passion for their terroir shining through. Pure satisfaction.

Tasting
Intense color and bright reflections. Powerful and complex nose of red and black fruits, sweet spices and roasting. The palate combines roundness, richness and tannic finesse for an intense fruitiness warmed up by melted oak. A Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux of noble extraction, balanced and tasty.
