Domaine les Yeuses, Ô d’Yeuses Rouge 2023
IGP d’Oc
This groundbreaking wine is made from 90% Marselan and 10% Cabernet Franc.  Marselan is a hybrid of Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache, designed to cope better with the intense heat of global warming. Half the wine is aged in cuve and half is aged in oak barrels before being blended.
Deep in colour, it has a lovely nose of violets, with hints of menthol and truffles.  On the palate it is full of blackcurrant and raspberry fruit with a touch of chocolate.  It’s supported by soft tannins and has great length.
