Brought a bottle of this to a backyard cookout 2 weeks ago but there was so much lighter fluid and charcoal smoke I have zero idea what it smelled or tasted like. Luckily, I have another bottle and no smoke tonight! A fairly saturated color for a Loire Pinot, and the nose is deeply fruity. Loads of smoky, flinty, underbrushy, slightly resinous notes too. Lovely! On the palate, it’s fairly low-toned, with bass-note dark cherry and berry fruit. Lots of limestoney minerality. Acids a tad on the lower side for this AOC, but delicious and deep. — 13 days ago
Ruby with aromas of fresh clean fruits and some earthy notes. Aged 22 months in stainless and oak, on the palate flavors of cherry and strawberry with spice. Fine tannins, vivid acidity, nice balance ending with oak and earthy spice. — 3 years ago
