MACON LA ROCHE VINEUSE “COUP DE FOUDRE”

 

This Mâcon-La Roche-Vineuse “Coup de Foudre” comes from a vineyard plot that is over 50 years old. Produced in a limited edition of just 3,300 magnums, this charitable cuvée donates €17.50 per magnum to the “Vaincre la Mucoviscidose” association.

The decision to support this organization was a natural choice for the Greuzard family, which has been personally affected by this rare disease. In fact, approximately one in 30 people carries the gene responsible for cystic fibrosis.
