2023 Marie & Sylvie Courselle Le Petit Courselle Les Copins

A juicy, generously fleshed yet slightly chewy red.

A blend of 50% Cabernet Franc, 30% Merlot and 20% Syrah. Deep dark red core with black toned edges and a red to dark red hue. Elevated ripe red currant, morello cherry and red liquorice aromas are followed by some dried herb, earthy incense and spice notes. Juicy morello cherry and liquorice fruits meld into an earthy incense and spicy herb du Provence back drop. Slightly chewy tannins with a generously fleshed medium to long finish.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.
Alc. 13.5%

Other Reviews…..
Outside the usual, cabernet franc, merlot and syrah.
A juicy, bright, chillable red style, with enough mettle and fine tannin to take it to the luncheon club as it would be for the picnic. Red cherry, dried Provence herbs, black pepper, aniseed. Fine swish of grainy tannin. Bright acidity. Simple, but not boring. Delicious drinking, indeed. Drink 2026-2029.
