The 2004 Naissance rouge is 50% Marselen (a hybrid made from crossing Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache) and the rest Merlot and pure Grenache. It’s a soft, fruity vin de pays and surprisingly ripe, heady, and delicious. Terrific winemaking and an unusual blend have certainly resulted in something enticing. Drink it over the next year. This is part of Domaine de La Mordoree’s negociant series.Importer: Kysela Pere et Fils, Winchester, VA; tel. (540) 722-9228
