Marcillac, Domaine du Cros Lo Sang del Pais, 2012

Marcillac, Domaine du Cros Lo Sang del Pais, 2012

Deliciously fruity red wine from Marcillac, first used to quench the thirst of pilgrims on their way to the shrine of Santiago di Compostella, and then miners from nearby coalfields. Made from the local fer servadou grape from a vineyard that was saved from extinction by a handful of dedicated growers. Excellent served cellar cool with bangers and mash.

Suggested Food Match: Reblochon; Game Pâté; Pont l'Eveque; other suggestions...

The Guardian (9th Feb 2013)

More rustic dishes, such as confit duck and beans, blend well with country wines from duck-populated south-west France. A regular favourite is the Domaine du Cros lo Sang del Pais Marcillac, generally around £10 a bottle but for some reason the Wine Society manages to offer it at £7.95 - Fiona Beckett

The Wine Society pre-moderates comments on articles and reviews on products. This means that comments and reviews will not be published instantly; they will first be checked by the moderators. Moderators will be monitoring the site between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday and will endeavour to process comments and reviews within 48 hours of submission.

Moderation is intended to ensure that content published on The Wine Society website is of value to members and is fair and balanced.

We will normally approve comments for publication as long as they:

We reserve the right to suspend comments and reviews at any time. Where we choose not to publish a comment or review for a reason other than those listed above, we will reply to the member concerned by e-mail explaining our reasons and inviting them to make appropriate changes so that the comment or review can be reconsidered. We also reserve the right not to publish reviews that mention other wine merchants and competitors.
