Fer Servadou

If you love Syrah for its pepper and savory grip but flinch at the price, Fer Servadou from Marcillac gives you the same dark, herbal snap for a fraction of the outlay.

Tasting profile
Blackcurrant and cracked black pepper over a cool streak of iron and torn green herbs, with tannins that grip lightly and let go.
