A beautiful wine from this biodynamically farmed vineyard (in the late 1800s it was part of the huge Figeac estate), this blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc achieved 13.5% alcohol naturally. The wife of Stephane Derenoncourt, Christine, manages the winery and has produced an outstanding sleeper of the vintage. Sweet raspberry, blueberry, kirsch, licorice, incense and spice aromas soar from the glass of this dark plum/ruby-colored 2008. Lush, round and layered, it can be drunk now and over the next 12-15 years.

A lush style, with lots of velvety-textured mashed currant, fig sauce and plum notes, all laced with a mouthwatering licorice snap note that adds length to the finish. There's good latent grip. Drink now through 2015. 2,665 cases made. -JM

Fine, fresh and opulent. A really attractive wine this year. Not quite as dense as 2005 but with added charm. Potentially a good buy.
