Many wines, especially from lesser-known appellations, proclaiming Fût de Chêne (aged in oak) are askew with prominent wood flavours and tannins. Not Verret’s Irancy. It was aged for 11 months in used – four to 12-year old- barrels, which helps explain why the oak is seamlessly incorporated into the wine. You feel its effect without tasting it. Not at all over done, the wine displays the perfect harmony of ripeness and acidity. Black cherry nuances are interwoven with a delectable, almost tar-like, minerality. This is a suave and refined Irancy.
