RVF

Full-bodied and fleshy, this Bordeaux is made from old vines of Cabernet Franc (70%) and Merlot (30%) in an organically farmed vineyard. "Essentia offers a more standardized register, with black fruit and elegant smokiness. Good value for money." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France - RVF - 2018)

About the domain :

This 8-hectare estate has been run organically by the same family for four generations since 1935, and is regularly honored for its Palais d'or liquoreux en côtes-de-bordeaux-saint-macaire and its Bordeaux reds. After ten years as a pharmacy assistant, Thierry Bos took over the family vineyard in 1990.

About the domain :

Thierry Bos, from Gironde-sur-Dropt, is a determined and passionate winemaker! For over ten years, he has been committed to reviving "forgotten" grape varieties such as Carménère, Malbec and, to a lesser extent, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. The different cuvées express wine styles with strong personalities. Always measured, with just the right levels of ripeness and delicate extractions, we appreciate the atypical character of these wines. An estate that truly deserves our attention.
