Classic nose of berried fruit combined with earthy farmyard.
On initial taste the acidity is still plentiful but not over the top.

cranberry, raspberry and red cherries. This is very well balanced with
savoury aspects and a finish with a little forest floor again farmyard
a light Fruit crunch and slight dusty finish.
Drinking very well now.

Hints of earthiness and smokiness add to the complexity on the finish. Soft, supple and ready to drink now.

A top notch wild Bandol!

Opulence is the word that springs to mind, stemming from the delicate aromas, with notes of plum, and from the deep red colour. This continues in the complex palate which is both dense and refined, mixing depth and power. Traditional wooden vats are used for fermentation and both new and old barrels for ageing, nine or ten years bottle age will see this perfected!

A soft and silky Pinot Noir from Burgundy. This red wine has sweet, ripe raspberries and cherries on the nose carried through to the palate. Slightly spicy, elegant and complex.

The Mercurey V.V. from Raquillet is made from 60-year-old vines and offers a ripe, spicy, and densely fruited nose of violets, dark berries and dried herbs. In the mouth, dense, delicious and velvety flavors with fine complexity on the impressively long finish.

From a vineyard of over 60 year old vines, high up on an east-south-east facing slope. More up front flavour compared to the Vasées. Good tension. Again, not plush. It has a serious approach.
