An amazing value limited parcel from acclaimed Bordeaux winemaker Bernard Magrez. Something of a crossbreed between the traditional blends of Bordeaux and the Languedoc, this is a powerful black fruit and spice-driven red, with layers of leafy, herbaceous complexity. Part of the blend has been aged in French oak barrels for 6 months, giving a silky sheen to the muscular tannins, now complemented by a period of bottle maturation. Marvel at the unbelievably low price over a rich beef stew.

"As Roy Ayers pointed out in his 1976 jazz-funk classic, 'Everybody Loves The Sunshine'. Bordeaux winemaker Bernard Magrez is no exception. He headed south to the Languedoc to create this seamless blend of almost every major French varietal. The result is a warm, comforting wine with luxurious plum and red berry fruit. It has a powerful but classy structure and a finish far longer than you'd expect at this bargain-basement price . You can taste the sunshine in every drop."

    I bought this at only £5 - £3 off the normal price. An unbelievably rich and sumptuous vin de pays at this price. Not to be missed!
