Despite being made in an oxidative style, this was tight as a drum with razor cut. Serious wine that did well after a short decant. — 3 months ago

Natural wine done right, and a welcome, elegant take on the appellation. Blue fruited and high toned on the nose, this has good intensity on the palate yet maintains refinement, and a crunchy edge. Earth driven, there is a ferrous, sanguine quality to the fruit, and this develops nice complexity with air. Stays clean, this avoids the typical natural wine pitfalls with air exposure. Great producer, lovely wine. — 8 months ago

@Delectable this is the Aurore cuvée, thank you. My first Ctx de Béziers, to the south of Saint Chinian and Faugueres. I believe it's 50 / 50 Chardonnay and Viognier. Hyper modern, super ripe with pineapple and vanilla flavors. Very weighty on the palate. Was not expecting this, and it's very well made for what it is, if not necessarily my style. — 8 months ago

This starts off with a slightly distracting, sour lactic-y note on the nose, but in the mouth, it’s a fiesta . As the name implies, this is very fun and easy to drink, great for parties. Peachy, with a creamy, leesy edge but plenty of acidity to keep things lively. Pet-nat. — 8 months ago

9.1

A serious, impressive, complex and elegant Pinotage, the best I've tried. Red fruited and notably spicy, with sappy pomegranate and red berry flavors on a streamlined, tightly wound palate. The texture is somewhat grainy, with tannins that dance on the tongue, giving good grip and focus as well as making it a nice match for food. Very well done. — 9 months ago

Fantastic discovery, and a wine with serious fun factor. A bit closed aromatically, this really shines in the mouth. Textured and broad, generous and round but still hanging on to vital acidity, this coats the mouth with green apple, honeyed pear and white flower notes. The textural harmony continues through the finish, where this lingers nicely. This has good impact yet is refreshing as well. Tasty stuff. — 8 months ago

Interesting wine, very floral, quite aromatic for the appellation. Wispy, leesy, creamy on the palate, with white fruit, white flowers, a hint of tropical fruit and vanilla. Open for business and easy drinking. Starts to get a bit cloying by the end of the second glass, but a very interesting style and a good value at 10 €. — 9 months ago
