This 15-hectare estate has produced the Perrodo family`s most serious, structured wine this year in the form of the 2021 Marquis d`Alesme. Exhibiting aromas of raspberries, red cherries, violets and blood orange, it`s medium to full-bodied, with powdery tannins, lively acids and creditable persistence on the finish. 89-91 points

The 2021 Marquis d`Alesme is packed with inky dark fruit, licorice, lavender, spice, graphite and new leather. Although not exactly the last word in finesse, the 2021 certainly packs a good bit of punch. Incisive tannins will need a few years to settle down. 92-94 points

Clear spiced pepper and turmeric notes giving depth, momentum and interest to the black cherry and blueberry fruit. Good depth to the colour also, this is enjoyable and well structured without being overly austere. Tasted twice, impressed both times. 3.8ph, 60% new oak, harvest September 30 to October 14. 32hl/h yield 93 points
