At first it reminded me of a Normandy craft cider. Then I poured some in my glass and the colour struck me. It's orangey and clearly turbid. Not your casual chardonnay Sunday evening pour. The nose is verrrryyy complex, pear, apple, honey, elderflower, white pepper, some slight apricot touch and some yeasty notes too (?). The palate is great too, good acid drive, pear and apple, honey, good width, soft mouthfeel that turns into a tannic wall in the rear that caresses the tongue before powering a multi-layered finish with honey, apricot, apple, pear, a savoury, salty touch. Wow this is wild. It's absolutely not the same wine nor the same tastes and varietals but this reminds to some extent of Joly's wines from la Coulée de Serrant. Extremist in the approach somehow. These guys will die on that hill with their ideas. — 3 months ago
Bold after it rests open for a short while. Great with Italian of course and beef. — 13 days ago
Hints of pepper and spice. Fruit forward and slightly jammy. Acidity hits nicely in the finish. — a month ago

Big, jammy old world goodness, with mild tannins and a finish that echoes relentlessly around in the mouth. Mild spice box and wafts of dried leaves subtly compliment the whole package. Magnificent. — 5 months ago
