This collaboration will also be showcased in a preview at the pizzeria L’Eau à la Bouche, located in the beautiful Malmousque cove. There, you can discover a delightful pairing of half-and-half pizza, Ricard Bouteille 4.5%, and a limited edition bottle opener. The event will take place on Sunday, June 21, from 5 PM to 10 PM.
