Au fil du temps is an expression literally meaning ‘along the thread of time’ and commonly translated ‘as time goes by’. Jean-Marie Guffens felt he could produce—from a palette of vintages—an inexpensive 'bistro' red that would taste greater than the sum of its parts. And here you go! Composed of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache from Côtes du Luberon aged in the solera style, it’s a fragrant, supple, super juicy and gluggable provençal red packed with dark cherry, earth, garrigue, tapenade and subtle truffle notes. The mouthfeel is juicy and tender with loads of character, pure flavours and lovely freshness. Crafted with low sulphur, you might find a prickle of gas (natural CO2) that Guffens uses to preserve fruit aromas. Most importantly, it finishes cool and bright (it comes in below 13.5% alcohol). It’s a quirky, lip-smacking and superbly priced Guffens ‘creation’.
