Caravelle
Caravelle is the result of a careful selection from 35 plots of old vines out of over 1200, based on the perfect adaptation of the grape variety to the terroir, and on their low yield.
This top-of-the-range Listrac only gets produced in great vintage years.
Certified HVE3 as of the 2019 vintage.
