Domaine Grosbot-Barbara Saint-Pourçain "Les Ferneaux" red 2022:

The Review of French Wine(Oct. 2023): 91/100. "This domaine in Saint-Pourçain has produced an enticing 2022, with a rich bouquet (spice bread and cherry clafoutis). The structure is dense, with prominent yet integrated tannins."

The Review of French Wine(July-Aug. 2023) : 90/100. The nose is filled with forest fruits and violet. The palate is dense, with high mineral intensity. Perfect until summer.
