Monsieur Lesec is a jovial chap, slightly portly and upbeat. He’s about the living embodiment of joie de vivre, and has somehow imbued that spirit into his plump, satisfying Châteauneuf. Sensationally concentrated and rich, the amount of flavour he’s packed into one delicious bottle is stunning. Ripe cherries and berries, tangy licorice, tobacco and spice – it’s all there. The cellar potential is ludicrous, but they’re drinking beautifully already so don't hesitate to get stuck in.
