Domaine Laurens was founded in 1975 right in the heart of the Marcillac wine region. They have 21 hectares of land and produce red, white, and rosé wines. Wait, Marcillac? What the heck is that? Marcillac is in the Aveyron department of southern France, near the city of Rodez. I don't think I've ever had a wine from Marcillac before. Maybe I have and just don't know it or recall.
And the same can be said for the grape that this wine is made from: Fer Servadou, AKA Fer, Pinenc, and Mansois. It's mostly grown in the southern France regions of Marcillac, Gaillac, and Béarn. According to Wikipedia, "Fer is French for iron (Latin Ferrum), a reference to the very hard and 'iron-like' wood of the vine's above ground canopy".
Have you even heard of Fer Servadou? I'm sure I have at some point in my studies but had forgotten about it, and I've certainly never have had a wine made from it. So without ferther servadou (see what I did there?) let's pop this bottle open!
