Domaine des Ardoisières "Quartz" dry white 2019 MAGNUM:

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2022 (Sept. 2021): Favorite 94/100. Quartz asserts itself with authority at the top of this production. The wine combines a strong sense of maturity, abundant and generous fruit, vibrant, even enticing, with the tactile development of a lively, refined, airy body, stretched in length.

We recommend decanting this wine 1 to 2 hours before tasting

WARNING: the capsule of this bottle is made of food-grade wax. To open it under the best conditions, push your corkscrew directly through the wax, and once it is well into the cork, pull sharply (without using the lever if you have a waiter’s friend), in short, "the old-fashioned way." This is the best way to avoid "crumbs" in the bottle!
