Dernière Lueur
The last grapes picked, in November light, once the autumn fog has done its work.
Dernière Lueur means the last glimmer. The rows by the mouth of the gallery are picked four or five times, berry by berry, as the fog concentrates them. It is made only in years that allow it: five vintages in the last decade.
