- « La Jouvencelle » : La Jouvencelle tire son nom de la jouvence, jeunesse éternelle que contiendrait miraculeusement l’eau qui coulerait à flots de la Fontaine de Jouvence, source fabuleuse de la mythologie romaine. Telle est notre cuvée en AOP blanc, jeune et éternelle, source de pureté et de plaisir.
