FEATURES
Les Fortes Terres was the first 100% Meunier vintage of the house in 2005. We had chosen this piece of terroir because every year, in blind tasting, the quality of the wines of this place left its mark. The power and tension of this wine reflect the identity of this unique soil.
For the 2018 vintage, the harvest began on September 6.
