Jean-Luc Matha Le Vieux Porche CUVEE PEIRAFI Marcillac AC
Description: The grape variety here is known locally as Mansois . The soil of Marcillac is very particular, called 'rougier' by the locals, due to its intense red colour, thanks to the high iron content. The wines are high in jagged acidity showing a haunting earthiness and the Peirafi is a special cuvee based on a rigorous selection grown on old vines. It is fermented in open tanks with the cap punched down twice a day then aged in well-seasoned barrels or foudres for 20 months. This mouthful of forest fruit, minerals and spices teases, provokes and delights in equal measure. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £87.05

Domaine Du Cros Vieilles Vignes Marcillac AC
Description: Marcillac is a tiny obscure appellation near Clairvaux in Aveyron comprising some eight growers. The wines here are made exclusively from the Mansois grape, otherwise known as Fer or Fer Servadou in Gaillac. Domaine du Cros makes two styles: a basic "tradition" or Lo Sang del Pais and the Vieilles Vignes from 50-80 year old vines. The wine spends 18 months in old oak casks and expresses myriad black fruits: myrtille, mure and cassis to name but several. The wines define the notion of gouleyant or gracia placendi, delicious wine so instantly appealing that when you unfurl your tongues the flavours slide silkily across the palate. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £73.40
