Max’s Notes
Ôde à la Vie is generous and juicy, yet remarkably light on its feet. Meunier brings soft, expressive fruit, while lime, grapefruit and a hint of ginger lend freshness and energy.
Delicate floral and spicy notes add another layer of complexity. What I particularly enjoy is how effortlessly it brings together fruit, freshness and a sense of lightness.
Ôde à la Vie comes from Festigny in the Vallée de la Marne. Meunier takes the lead in this three-grape cuvée.
