"Annually, this is one of our favourite wines. As you know well, there's an inimitable magic that can happen when a vineyard grows very old and this 100 year old site delivers pretty astonishing wine year after year. There's the classical pepper and spice that this rare variety is known and loved for but the extra vine age produces a genuine notion of terroir both aromatically and on the palate. This is a special wine - we can't recommend highly enough." - Campbell Burton, importer

The truly humble Sylvain Martinez continues to impress with his zero-zero wines from the Anjou. Organically farmed and made without additions of any kind, they are pure, intensely mineral and even more enjoyable. Tiny quantities.
