At Poulet Bleu - Biodynamic Pic Saint-Loup (labeled Vin de Pays d'Oc), no oak, concrete tank.

• Nose: Bright cherry, raspberry, garrigue (thyme, rosemary), limestone minerality
• Palate: Crunchy red fruit, no oak weight, fresh acidity, very drinkable
• Texture: Light-to-medium body, fine tannin, clean
• Style: Pure, immediate, food-friendly — Kermit Lynch classic
• Tasting note: "Like a limestone-driven Loire Cab, not a Languedoc oak bomb. Cuts through frites, doesn't compete with the steak." — 14 days ago

Hadn’t tasted Audoin in many, many years, so I was genuinely curious to come back to him. This absolutely blew my mind. Incredible fruit purity, lifted and precise without getting precious, and probably the best Fixin I’ve ever had. One of those bottles that makes you sit up a little straighter and recalibrate the whole appellation. — 6 months ago

2021 vintage. The white/black pepper thingy (pesticides) in the nose. Light-medium body. Super-chiseled with dark fruit, aforementioned pepper presence, graphite and hints of blackberry. Lean and mean. 11.20.24. — 2 years ago
