92-93/100
RVF
"An elegant, intense, and full-bodied vintage"
“A ruby red color with good intensity and brilliance. The nose evokes stewed fruit, with a ripe profile and a hint of licorice. The palate is full-bodied with refined tannins, showing good balance; one appreciates its density and freshness. Its long aging has given it a refined character, and it will continue to develop positively over the next five years and beyond.” (Le Guide RVF 2024)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
A courageous and determined artisan winemaker, Christophe Ferrandis produces wines full of character—typical of their terroir and made in the true spirit of organic winemaking—in his cramped, cramped cellar. These wines need two to three years in the bottle. Let’s hope he’ll soon have a facility that does justice to his efforts.

Rated estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
A ruby red color with good intensity and brilliance. The nose evokes stewed fruit, with a ripe profile and a hint of licorice. On the palate, it is full-bodied with refined tannins, showing good balance; its density and freshness are particularly appealing. Its long aging has given it a refined character, and it will continue to develop favorably for five years or more.
About the estate:
A native of Marseille who trained, among other places, at Château de Pibarnon (Bandol), Christophe Ferrandis settled in 2002 near Saint-Florent in the village of Poggio d’Oletta. He currently makes wine in cramped quarters in a former sheepfold but plans to build a new winery. His vineyard faces the Leccia estate in Morta Piana. Yields are low, the vineyard is organically farmed, and the grapes are harvested in small crates. The concentrated, extract-driven style of his early years is evolving toward greater finesse. Suitable for excellent aging, the reds are more harmonious, particularly the Clos Signadore and A Mandria cuvées, produced in all three colors. Inizia is a new wine merchant cuvée.
