Francs Côtes de Bordeaux

Full

Natural Cork

Owned by Mathieu and Anne-Laurence Chardronnier in a corner of Francs Côtes de Bordeaux that has more clay than is typical in the appellation, this is full of perfumed spice and ripe blue fruits, deftly delivered and totally moreish. This was the first year in organic conversion for Marsau, and the mildew of the year was particularly tough, meaning that yields were low (really low, less than 10hl/ha). Despite the difficulties, they have created something delicious, fermented with native yeasts and no added sulphur. Beautiful label also, from designer Ronan Bouroullec.
