Staff Pick Notes

Roger Naudet Domaine des Buissonnes is a family run estate located in the village of Sury en Vaux. This estate makes this "Terre Blanche" bottling named after the famed Kimmeridgian Soil, a mix of limestone and clay made eons ago, where ancient sea creatures died and settled at the bottom of an ancient seabed.
