The 2019 Pruno has some unusual aromas reminiscent of pine needles, balsamic and faintly herbal with moderate alcohol (they harvested early in this warm year) and with very good balance and harmony. The aromas and flavors are pure and defined, and it's tasty, easy to drink and has very fine tannins. Among the finest Pruno of recent times. 617,338 bottles, 13,059 magnums and 100 double magnums produced. It was bottled in October 2020.

A carbon copy of last year, if not better, and honestly the best Vin de France I have ever tasted. It is made with no added sulphites so that ageing might be dodgy, but it is so tasty now, so why bother waiting? It comes off a sixteen year old vineyard, and the blend is hand-harvested, 50/50, marselan/grenache (Demeter certified biodynamic) grown over sand with a bit of clay. The vinification is simple: they destem the fruit, crush it, and ferment and macerate it for 20 days. The palate is soft and silky with intense, pure black cherry. There is a minimal amount of tannin with a peppery finish. Food friendly.
