Macon Rouge, La Roche-Vineuse - 2005 - Domaine Alain Normand
Ref: A012305
Having been severely hailed in 2004 which wiped out Alain Normand's harvest for that year he was understandably relieved to see 2005 smile upon him. This was an exceptional year producing wines of considerable weight, power and structure. His 2005 is jam packed with rich, raspberry fruit and has excellent depth and length. Drink now until 2008.

Alain Normand, from his 3.5 hectares of thirty year-old Gamay vines, makes one of the most attractive Macon Rouges that we have tasted. These are deep-coloured, textured wines with a distinctive nose of ripe damsons and a floral backdrop. In no way are these wines that try to copy Beaujolais as they reflect the ‘terroir’ of the Maconnais and, in particular, la Roche-Vineuse, whose limestone and granite-based soils are ideal for the Gamay.

Price: £8.28
Including VAT at 17.5%
