This Wine: Vincent's amazing value red blend is back for the 2024 vintage which shows a lighter expression in both body and alcohol. Really fresh and easy drinking but with a lovely complexity of red and black fruits with a subtle herbal note. Unbeatable at this price point.
Notes on the Winemaker: Vincent Barouillet is an eighth generation winemaker in the Bergerac / Monbazillac region south of Bordeaux who makes superb value wines from local varieties.
