This is the best Vin de France I have ever tasted, and it's made with no added sulphites. It comes off a fifteen year old vineyard, and the blend is hand harvested, 50/50, marselan/grenache (Demeter certified) grown over sand with a little clay. The vinification is simple. The fruit is destemmed and crushed before going through a 20-day maceration. The result is a silky textured red wine bursting with pure black cherry, with innocent ripeness. There is a touch of tannin that allows you to serve up some grilled beef. Otherwise, a favourite cheese is all this needs to set it off. Simply delicious. I would drink this up over three years, given there are no added sulphites.
