A rich and powerful wine displaying herbaceous aromas. The palate, of ripe red berries and ‘cut pepper’ and well developed, rounded tannins, precedes a long, clean finish.
The Filliatreaus' flagship wine. The terrific 'Vieilles Vignes' is made from a parcel of octogenerian vines that yield a strapping dark, earthy wine. It has a wonderful core of ripe cassis flavours and a fine structure of tannins. It should be decanted before drinking and can mature happily for up to a decade. Indeed we are such big fans of this wine that we ship it in every conceivable, format from humble half-bottles to mighty jeroboams.
