    The wine

    With Bernard Faurie easing himself into retirement, you won't want to miss out on one of his wines. It may be under the radar, but this one has won over opinion both at iDealwine and the wine exhibitions with its elegant mouth feel, tertiary aromas (game, mushrooms, leather, and very ripe dark fruits) and underlying freshness. This remarkable wine will age for decades in style.
