| Story | This wine was born from Constantine Charrère's meeting with Count Gagnard de la Grange, an extravagant winegrower from Puligny Montrachet, known in the 1980s for the quality of his wines. During a visit to Burgundy, Charrère discovered that he shared an ancient pruning system with the latter. A friendship was born from which he drew inspiration for the Cuvée Bois élévage, today at the top of Italian and international production. |
