Domaine Jean Royer, Le Petit Roy 19ème Année, Vin de France

A blend that includes wines that don’t make it into Jean Royer’s Châteauneuf, and which therefore can’t be labelled with a vintage. Tangy berry acidity, remarkable length of chewy blackberry coulis and liquorice, with enough interest on the nose to keep you sniffing. Plenty of impact for the price.
