"With its finely smoky, liquorice nose, A Mandria is quite firm in its tannic structure, a little tight on the finish but imbued with ripe, honest fruit. Give it time to harmonize. (Le Guide RVF 2023) An elegant, intense and fleshy cuvée, supported by structured tannins. Try it with roast duck.

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domain rated 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)

About the domain :

Christophe Ferrandis is a courageous and determined artisan winemaker. In his uncomfortable doll's cellar, he produces wines of character, typical of their area and vinified in a well-understood organic spirit. They need two to three years in bottle. Let's hope he'll soon have a working tool to match his efforts.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 92/100

Domaine rated (2021 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the wine:

With its finely smoky, liquorice nose, A Mandria is quite firm in its tannic structure, a little tight on the finish, but full of ripe, honest fruit. Give it time to harmonize.

About the domain :

Originally from Marseilles, Christophe Ferrandis trained at the Château de Pibarnon (Bandol) and settled in the village of Poggio d'Oletta near Saint-Florent in 2002. He makes his wine in a cramped former sheepfold, but plans to build a new winery. His vineyard faces Domaine Leccia in Morta Piana. Yields are low, the vines are grown organically and harvested in small crates. The concentrated, extracted style of the early years is evolving towards greater finesse. Suitable for excellent ageing, the reds are more harmonious, particularly the Clos Signadore cuvée and A Mandria, produced in all three colors. Inizia is a new cuvée for the trade.
