When the French knight Pierre de Terrail (a.k.a Chevalier de Bayard) came to the French court in 1489, he brought with him not only his valour but also wines from his homeland which he described as, “Fit for a king!” And so Bayard (situated in the municipality of Pontcharra) has long been known to produce wines renowned for their silky smooth finish. On the nose, a burst of forest fruit aromas followed by a jammy palate with chocolate, cherries and a touch of vanilla. Treat yourself and your mates to this royal wine!
