Made from a 10-acre vineyard with vines averaging twenty years of age, this well-made 2003 exhibits plenty of earthy, black cherry, and peppery notes along with a hint of macerated raisins, medium body, and a soft texture. It is a plump, fleshy red to enjoy during its first 2-3 years of life.Sadly, at this time there is no American importer for this wine, although Bernard Magrez's international connections should ensure that these cuvees end up in the better restaurants and wine shops of not only France, but Western Europe. Hopefully, an innovative American importer will see fit to give American consumers access to these intriguing efforts.This wine will appear under the name Gerard Depardieu. Quantities for his wines range from 400-600 cases, and the debut vintage (2002) will hit the marketplace in fall, 2004.
