Meet Marselan, a newcomer grape making its mark in the vineyards of SW France, even Bordeaux. For now still rare, this red is packed full of fruit. A luscious waterfall of ripe berries, scorched earth, herbs and French oak. All velvety smooth too.

When Marselan was created in 1961, who'd have thought, 60 years later, it would create such a stir! It's a crossing between Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon. You'll notice that on the taste – brimful of voluptuous, velvety, ripe fruit with a core of silky tannins. Winemaker Jean Baptiste Fabre took a shine and was delighted to find a parcel at Arnaud de Malefette's 200 year old Domaine du Bosc. This gloriously deep, fruit laden red is the result. A veritable cascade of fruity flavour – lush plum, cherry, cassis and blackberry - flattered by a year in French oak. You'll notice that in the vanilla, spice box and cedar notes. This is the epitome of an irresistible red. Great with meat dishes, at a barbecue or with vegetarian toad in the hole.
