Vin de France

Medium

Cork

I so often think of this as one of Bordeaux's best value wines and it's brilliant in 2025. Pure and pristine floral aromatics, really expressive, so open and friendly with verging on tart crisp and crunchy yet really pure strawberry fruit plus softly chewy ripe tannins and a lick of wet stone salinity. Still a bit tense and streamlined with a bite to the acidity that drives the wine and gives energy and push — cherry, cranberry and raspberry fruit. Razor sharp with liquorice and iron tang at the end. Quite a powerful, intense style with the tannins mostly masked by the mouthwatering acidity. Serious and pleasurable. 3.5pH. A yield of 35hl/ha. Now designated as a Vin de France as are all the other wines in the range.
