A negociant wine. Medium, medium-pale cherry red. Rather subdued nose of, well, not that much actually. Some fat, good acidity and a nice creamy tinge to the finish. The tannin is there, but not obtrusive. It’s a reasonable enough wine, but today it’s giving up very little, and given it’s the price of a village wine I can’t really give it the thumbs up.

Similar depth of colour to the Drouhin wine, though shaded to ruby. The nose is cherry and raspberry with just a hint of turned earth. The palate shows black and red berried fruits. Dood acidity and smooth tannins. Nice length to the finish. Similar softness to the Drouhin, though with a touch more concentration. A good wine.
