"A la Reverie" means "In a Dream State," and is an apt name for a cuvée created by Jean-René de Fleurieu with his artistic sensibility. For this blend, two blocks of Grenache are blended to create the base for this wine - one harvested earlier to preserve the freshness and acidity, and another harvested a full maturity to add richness.
