White pepper, citrus rind, pineapple, wildflower honey on the nose. Palate concentration is very good with good acid and minerality. Almost great. Still, to my palate this succumbs to the ripeness of the vintage on the finish… a little cloying. — 8 days ago

2021/4. I hadn’t had Souhat in a little while. I liked the wines before, but felt they could be a bit on the overtly “natural” side - a little more restraint would bring more typicity. Well, that seems to have happened here - there’s nothing overdone about this wine, and that’s with 60% being Viognier too. Lovely yellow peach, wackiness, savory mineral, and a hint of tropical fruit that actually smells like tropical fruit (mangosteen? jackfruit) instead of Juicy Fruit. — 2 months ago

Forgot about this guy in storage. So happy it was CLEAN and fresh as a daisy. Brambly berry fruit, peppercorn, violets, bay and other classic herbs, some olive and licorice wrapped up in a neat and vibrant package. Something slightly meaty and savory hiding out, but this is quite light on its feet and quaffable with its crisp fruit and chalky tannin. — 7 months ago

Dark cherries, full bodied but certainly very fresh at only 12.5%. Loved this — 23 days ago

Although this Hervé Souhaut wine is made from the Gamay grape, it isn’t a Beaujolais. ☝️ Rather, it’s from the Rhône Valley of France, produced from land in the hills of the Northern Ardeche near the appellation of St. Joseph, which is famous for its Syrah-focused red wines. 🇫🇷 🍇

👁 This unfiltered and organically-produced wine is pale purple with pink rim variation and noticeable haze.

👃 On the nose this wine has a medium intensity of youthful aromas that include ripe red cherry, 🍒 bright raspberry, banana, wild strawberry, 🍓 dried lavender, cinnamon, crushed stone, and ever-so-delicate savory and meaty notes.

👄 On the palate this wine is dry; it has medium acidity, a medium body, medium alcohol, medium tannins, and medium intensity in youthful flavors consistent with the nose.

👏 This is the definition of an easy-drinking, gulpably delicious, and food-favorable wine. We are loving the layers of this wine that may be mistakable for a Beaujolais but for the delicate nuances most likely attributable its Rhône Valley provenance.

Domaine Romaneaux-Destezet, La Souteronne, 2018, 12.5% ABV, Vin de Pays, Rouge made from Gamay.

Thank you, @petervars @thomasliquors for the introduction to this producer. Excited to try the Syrah next time 👍 — 2 months ago
