Made for M&S by Fabrice Lesne, Maison Fabrice Lesne (Consultant: Nicolas Potel), from 100% Pinot Noir.

Soil is manually worked, and no herbicides are used. Grapes are hand-harvested, and undergo a three day cold maceration, followed by a 20 day fermentation. Wine is lightly pressed, before being transferred into barrel, where it undergoes malolactic fermentation. Wine is aged on its fine lees for 14 months, before it is bottled with no fining or filtration.

Nov – 150 stores.


Lifted, fresh, perfumed oak on the nose. Fresh and juicy with leathery oak to give some definition without making it oaky, per se. Like it and wish it were cheaper.
