Facing rebels who cried 'Thor aïe', Duke William's troops answered 'Dex aïe!', God's help. At Val-ès-Dunes, Christian Normandy prevailed over a Normandy still Viking at heart. Dex Aïe is the third chapter of our range, the horse answering the stag.
This bottle is part of a story: five cuvées that tell the Battle of Val-ès-Dunes (1047) and the rise of William the Conqueror, on the very land of the estate.
