A rich, warm and juicy red, full of prune, juicy blackcurrant and red plum flavours. A nice whiff of cinnamon and fudge too. Silky soft and very quaffable. A great accompaniment to steak and chips!
The Marselan grape is a crossing of Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon. It was created in 1961 by Paul Truel, a leading ‘Ampleographer’ (Ampleography is the science of identifying, naming and classifying vines and grape varieties). Nowadays this is all done through DNA, but in Truel's time, it was a highly skilled and scientific process. He was described as a man of rigor, an insatiable researcher, untiring worker, endowed with a breath-taking memory and an unparalleled observer. The idea of him working away in the lab, combined with the test tubes, flasks and pipettes often seen at wineries gave birth to the idea of Le Professeur.
Fredéric Garrabou was born in the small village of Limoux, situated amongst the Languedoc vineyards. His father and both his grandfathers were vine growers, and he grew up immersed in the vineyards, assisting his father from a young age. The cultivation of vines has always captivated him, as he believes that the finest wines are crafted in the vineyard.
