During the battle of Val-ès-Dunes, Raoul Tesson strikes William's shoulder with a blow of his glove, just enough to keep his oath, then changes sides. The battle tips, and with it the destiny of the future Conqueror. Le Destin is the fourth chapter of our range.
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.
