"Gourmet delicacies with a touch of finesse".

Complex and expressive on the nose, Sang du Sanglier is bursting with black fruit, with hints of licorice and black pepper. Powerful on the attack, the palate is well-balanced, with firm, supple tannins. Sang du Sanglier is anything but wild! Price-pleasure ratios of this caliber are rare.

About the domain :

Already owner of an organic farm in Scotland, Julian Taylor bought this estate in 2010, commissioned by a 15th-century château with typical Périgord architecture. He reduced its surface area from 17 to less than 13 ha, keeping only the best parcels. In March 2019, he sold the property to American businessman Frank Campbell and his wife Riki.

Tasted in 04/22. Deep, intense color. The nose is floral (violet) and very ripe fruit. Digestible palate, balanced with freshness.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 05/06/2023

A nugget within reach. Proud and full-bodied, this spherical Bergerac enchants the palate with its fat, generous texture of jammy red fruit, complemented by toasty aromas and hints of vanilla, which melt into a structure that is robust but not excessive, consistent but not heavy. Prolonged ageing is barely perceptible, as the pure, crunchy fruit is omnipresent for the greatest gustatory pleasure. Tannins of rare finesse, perfectly aged and enveloping the palate with suavity. The volume, which is not to be outdone, imposes itself by giving relief right through to the firm, yet incredibly melting and sapid finish. This remarkable 100% Merlot with a fine backbone has a bright future ahead of it. Deserves a score of 4.3 or more. After 1 h of decanting, it's a real voluptuous slap in the face when served with a traditional Castelnaudary cassoulet with duck confit, sprinkled with breadcrumbs and baked in the oven.
