2022 Yves Duport 'Le Marginal', Savoie, Vin de France
Yves Duport is the fourth generation farming his family's estate in Bugey, between Savoie and the Jura, organically and biodynamically. 'Le Marginal' is his no-frills, chill-it-and-pour red: fresh, joyful and fruity, with just a hint of tannin. Pure fun in a glass.
Tasting Notes
"Expect bright, crunchy red fruit with a little spice and a floral lift from the Mondeuse, a fresh, juicy palate and just a whisper of tannin that shows up as it opens." — Harvest Wine Shop
