Wines with no sulphites

When in Belgique : buy these no-SO2 French wines

Herebelow are French wines that I recommend and where to buy them in Belgique.

The below vintners often use no sulphur dioxide (SO2) during the winemaking or the bottling. Only a few bottles may contain sulfites -- in very small quantities. (Around 10 mg per liter. Ask the merchant or the importer.) You could ask for wine shipment to and delivery in the Belgique area.

2001 - 8.5 € - intensity of flavour, red fruit (blackcurrent, blackberry), roastbeef - intensity of flavour, red fruit (blackberry), onctuous from entry to exit, no smoked note, balanced acidity.
Note: some bottles may show a fizzy whisper or an acrid (acetic) hint -- serious airing (with a decanter or by waiting 24 hours) should dissolve these drawbacks.
