Clos Signadore - Patrimonio A Mandria rouge 2021
92-93/100
RVF
"An elegant, intense, and full-bodied vintage"
"A bright ruby red color with good intensity. The nose is reminiscent of stewed fruit, with a ripe profile and a hint of licorice. The palate is full-bodied with fine tannins, showing good balance. We appreciate its density and freshness. Its long aging has given it a smooth texture, and it will continue to develop positively for five years or more." (Le Guide RVF 2024)

Bettane & Desseauve
Winery rated 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
A courageous and determined artisan winemaker, Christophe Ferrandis produces wines of character in his very uncomfortable little cellar. These wines are typical of their region and vinified in a well-understood organic spirit. They need to be aged for two to three years in the bottle. Let's hope that he will soon have the tools he needs to match his efforts.

Bright ruby red with good intensity. Nose reminiscent of stewed fruit, ripe profile, hint of licorice. The palate is full-bodied, with fine tannins, developing good balance.

About the estate:
Originally from Marseille and trained at Château de Pibarnon (Bandol), Christophe Ferrandis settled near Saint-Florent in the village of Poggio d'Oletta in 2002. He makes wine in cramped conditions in an old sheepfold but plans to build a new winery. His vineyard faces the Leccia estate in Morta Piana. Yields are low, cultivation is organic, and the grapes are harvested in small crates. The concentrated, extracted style of his early wines has evolved towards greater finesse. Suitable for excellent aging, the reds are more harmonious, particularly the Clos Signadore and A Mandria cuvées, produced in three colors. Inizia is a new négociant cuvée.
