Here is the family who saved this grape from extinction threatened by phylloxera. Wine is aged for 14-18 months in FR oak snd 30-36 months in bottle and released once it reaches its peak. Medium ruby colour. Med intensity of blackberries, plums, pepper, cherries, hint of lavender and balsamic. Medium body, fresh and bright with lean texture, peppery and fruity flavours along mild tannins and mid length finish.

Lunch with Jazz (67 Pall Mall, London): We asked the somm for a recommendation that was stylistically similar to the Planetes de Nin 2018 we’d had with he food. This had an engaging and enticing nose, a touch more initial funk or earthiness, charming fruit (strawberries, sweet cherry, red/black berries more generally), herbs. Thicker in texture than I was expecting but fulfilled the brief given to the somm and was very enjoyable without food.

Peppery. I really don’t get anything else. To the light side of medium bodied. Average finish. Pleasant and good with food but nothing special for me.

Great. Peppery. High toned. Light body. Think light bodied N. Rhone.

Very very peppery. Decent food wine but not to be had by itself
