I just tried this over the last couple of days! It was one of the bottles I picked up during the CAS sale. I selected it for the very reason that it was obscure and something I’d never heard of but thought I might enjoy. I was right, this was a great qpr and worth the chance It went beautifully with my steak and herb roasted potatoes! The colour was VERY purple indeed and the taste was more complex then I thought it would be for the price. Thanks for writing this article! I really enjoyed reading more about this unique varietal!

The 2004 vintage of the Domaine Laurens Marcillac definitely had me sending a bit of love in the Fer Servadou direction. Couldn’t have asked for more from a $10 bottle of wine - an interesting, food-friendly wine with loads of the berry and black pepper flavors you describe. I still have couple bottles of the 2004, and I look forward to giving the 2005 vintage a try.

And also looking forward to the next installment of your “Obscure Varietal Series”.
