“Mansois? Fer-Servadou, the grape variety at the heart of Marcillac. Deep red with violet hues, this 2014 vintage offers a very distinctive nose of wild berries and spices with a hint of herbal notes. On the palate, it reveals ripe fruit with spicy accents, supported by tannins that are already well-integrated. A well-rounded wine with just the right amount of freshness to give it a long finish.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2016)

Rated estate (2025 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

With a committed, ethical, and responsible approach, Lionel Osmin founded this eponymous “haute couture” wine merchant with the goal of moving beyond appellations to better highlight the grape variety and offer a simple, indulgent take on wine. Based in Pau, the company produces a diverse range of about thirty cuvées and crafts several Armagnacs. It also handles the distribution of Clos Joliette, a jewel of the Jurançon region, and wines from the Berthoumieu estate. The lineup, meticulously crafted by Damiens Sartori—the key figure in winemaking—offers outstanding wines at every price point.

About the wine:

From Mans? Fer-Servadou, the grape variety at the heart of Marcillac. Deep red in color with violet hues, this 2014 vintage offers a very distinctive nose of wild berries and spices with a hint of herbal notes. On the palate, it reveals ripe fruit with spicy accents, supported by tannins that are already well-integrated. A well-rounded wine with just the right amount of freshness to give it a long finish.

About the estate:

The son of a jeweler from Béarn, Lionel Osmin became an agricultural engineer and, in 2010, founded a prominent wine merchant specializing in wines from the greater Southwest region, from Irouléguy to Bergerac and from Madiran to Marcillac. Oenologist Damiens Sartori oversees the winemaking process for this extensive range.

About the estate:

While he knows how to craft wines from grapes sourced from elsewhere, it is with local grapes that Lionel Osmin truly excels, producing precise and refined terroir-driven wines. The Pau-based wine merchant and grower also offers a range of single-varietal wines: indigenous varieties, free of appellation restrictions, such as Prunelard, Abouriou, and Mauzac… Finally, Lionel Osmin produces a few unique offerings, starting with a naturally sweet wine made from Tannat and Malbec.
