Andre Romero,
Ready, but will keep,
André Romero has been dubbed the “Superstar of Rasteau” by no less a figure than Robert Parker, and is equally passionate about his wines and his beloved Marseilles football club. Self-taught and adhering to the virtues of low yields and extended fermentation, Romero has invested in an automatic pigeage system along Burgundian lines which ensures maximum extraction. The resulting wine is soft, yet sturdy, with berry flavours and a whiff of wood-smoke betraying its provenance.
From a single 3,000-bottle lot, farmed at low yields on distinctive, almost Germanic blue clay soils, this is very complete and finely structured. Floral aromatics, and even hints of jasmine and camphor, are followed by a rich, plummy palate which will yield more as the years unveil its qualities.
