"Mansois? Fer-servadou, the grape at the heart of Marcillac. Deep red with purple nuances, this 2014 releases a very typical nose of forest fruits and spices with a more vegetal touch. On the palate, it unfurls ripe fruit with spicy accents, supported by already melted tannins. A complete wine with just the right amount of freshness to give it length".

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (2016 guide) 2*Coup de Coeur (Outstanding wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2020) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the wine:
Mansois ? Fer-servadou, the grape at the heart of Marcillac. Deep red with purple nuances, this 2014 releases a very typical nose of wild berries and spices with a more vegetal touch. On the palate, it unfurls a ripe fruitiness with spicy accents, supported by already melted tannins. A complete wine with just the right amount of freshness to give it length.
About the domain :
Son of a Béarn-based jeweler, Lionel Osmin became an agricultural engineer and in 2010 founded a successful trading house specializing in wines from the greater South-West, from Irouléguy to Bergerac, Madiran to Marcillac. Oenologist Damiens Sartori is in charge of vinification for this vast range of wines.

Wine rated (2016 guide) 15/20 (Good wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2021) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
Although he knows how to make wines with grapes from elsewhere, it's in the local area that Lionel Osmin is at his best, with precise, honed terroir cuvées. The wine merchant from Pau also offers a range of single-varietal cuvées: autochthonous varieties, freed from the appellation, such as prunelard, abouriou, mauzac... Finally, Lionel Osmin makes a few curiosities, starting with a vin doux naturel made from tannat and malbec.

Very good with couscous and even better the next day with raclette.

Note and review by M. FREDERIC B. Published on 28/12/2017
A lovely, very fruity nose extended on the palate by a definite but not biting acidity. A long, fresh finish, worthy of a nice piece of barbecued red meat. My 2nd bottle confirms the 1st

I'm looking for the remarkable side of this wine, on the nose all the specific aromas of this wine are there but much less on the palate, I think 1 or 2 years in the cellar will allow the juice to blossom.
