After watching Jancis Robinson's Wine Course
DVD, my respect for Marcel Guigal increased considerably. His rigorous vetting of the grapes used in his wines is impressive: he turned down the fruit grown by an old friend because it didn't meet Guigal's high standards. My feline friend Annabelle seemed to approve as well...
The blend comprises of 55% syrah, 35% mourvedre, 8% grenache, and 2% of something probably not worth naming.
Cherry, pepper and licorice on the nose. Meaty and spicy palate with fine, powdery tannins. Balanced levels of oak and acid.
The best budget wine in the world? Maybe not, but still great value, and one of only a very few French wines worth buying for around the $20 mark.
