Notes

Robert Parker writes for Wine Advocate: "I have been buying Les Pavots for a number of years, and I must say that the 1996 and 1997 are the two finest efforts I have ever tasted. This brilliantly run winery continues to push the quality of their wines to even more remarkable heights." (12/1998)
