Clos Signadore - Patrimonio A Mandria rouge 2021
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 age well for five years or more.” (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 in his cramped, cramped cellar—wines that are typical of their terroir and made in the spirit of well-understood organic winemaking. 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.

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. The palate 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 age well 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.
