French wine values tasted in 2005

Vin-de-table-de-france wine labelr Vin de table de france - Jean-Marie Rimbert - Cousin Oscar on se l'arrache

[2004] - 4.4 € - a scent of strawberry - in the palate the wine shows red fruit, fat, an eager body which reminds of Corbières next door, balanced acidity, alcohol is very well integrated, much better supported than by Domaine du Vieux Colombier 2001 - notice that the wine stays cheerful if kept in the fridge for a few days, you will only lose little cohesiveness
