Marcillac
A friend shared a bottle of this last weekend. I had never heard of
Marcillac or its grape -- fer servadou (aka mancois). I'm kicking myself now for not remembering the label details, but it was a 1998 vintage. Color was garnet, similar to pinot noir perhaps, although the light was dim so not sure. It had an unusual earthy, spicy, red berry nose and palate with a green olive and roasted red pepper note. Does this sound typical for Marcillac? I enjoyed it very much -- doubly so for its uniquness. |

I enjoyed it very much -- doubly so >for its uniquness. A wine made not very far from us here in France. The leading grower is Jean-Luc Matha, a great bear of a man, making lovely wine. I'm pretty sure you'll have had one of his. Another excellent grower is Philippe Teulier. The cave co-op also makes some good stuff as well, a little rounder and perhaps almost sweeter - your roasted red pepper? That's the one we get from our local wine shop. Hope that help.

Thanks, Ian. Yes, it was Matha. I will be on the lookout for it.
