Côtes Rocheuses Cuvée Excellence 2021
One of the oldest brands from the Union de Producteurs de Saint-Emilion, created in 1935, Côtes Rocheuses went through time, at the very heart of modernity and tradition. More recently, we created Côtes Rocheuses Cuvée Excellence from the best juices of the Côtes Rocheuses grapes’ selection. A selection we consider as a tribute to the first members of the UDP de Saint-Emilion.
