Toast, strawberry, cherry and hay on the nose. It's rather subtle and delicate. The palate is very well designed, with a strong acid backbone, a nice silky texture with strawberry, a velvety tannin wall before a fruity, silky finish. It's very smooth and juicy, and dangerously easy going. It was served all along dinner but it was showing best when paired with cheese (Saint nectaire fermier was a hit pairing) — 5 years ago
Yowzerz sooo good! Sweet yet skin contact-y. Best cider I’ve had. Perfect for late summer, early fall. — 7 years ago
Blackberry and dark red fruit nose, quite round for a 17-year old, a perfect match for strong French cheeses like Livarot, Saint Marcelin, and Saint Nectaire Fermier. — 9 years ago
Zero dosage Calvados cider. On the nose, Brett, horse barn and crushed apples. In the mouth, high acidity and zero sweetness. Pretty pure apple flavor. Old school and good. — 10 years ago
The nose is reminiscent of cidre fermier (farm cider) with a bit of funk at first thqt blows away after a while. The comes honey, apple and some yeasty notes. There is a bit of chalk too. The palate is honey and green apple forward, with a good acid drive, some width, some chalky notes, a bit of grip in the rear and a long persistent finish. Great stuff. We have it along mussels served with green bell pepper and chorizo and it goes super well. — 2 years ago
Biodynamic Pinot Noir without added sulphur. Light, on the fruit, crunchy. Simple, efficient, greedy and digestible. PN Lovers will appreciate for sure !
Pinot Noir nature sans souffre ajoutés et sans le côté fermier parfois malvenu. Léger, sur le fruit, croquant. Simple efficace, gourmand et digeste. — 5 years ago
Amazing. Favorite wine. — 6 years ago
Absolute stunner. 100% Cabernets Flan. Green pepper with a hint of vanilla. Goes extremely well with Blue des Gex or Crottin de chavignol fermier. — 8 years ago
Premiere avec Mugneret Gibourg... legere déception. Je m'attendais à beaucoup surtout avec les souvenirs des 2009 et 2010. Mauvaise bouteille ? Millésime qui se fait sentir ? Phase fermée ? À l'ouverture plutôt discret mais après une heure le nez est vraiment beau, très fruits rouges mais manque un peu de pureté. C'est en bouche que ca se complique. Le fruit est peu perceptible et dissimulé par un côté fermier et herbal. Longueur moyenne. — 9 years ago

@delectable this is Pulling Nails Blend #15...
“I pulled the notes from Pulling Nails #8 to mimic the fruiting addition exactly - the ratio of raspberries to cherries. Then we blended up what could be the best foundation for these fruits and their refermentation by using the base for the blend #8 as a guide.
Where blend #8 used a portion of spontaneous beer back-blended with a 1-year-old saison, blend #15 uses a base of our lambic-inspired beer (quick turbid mash, funkiest of our cultures, expresses itself somewhere between Coexpressionalism and our old spontaneous beers) blended with Oude Fermier and a Brett-forward saison for some additional Brett spice and classical "funk." The blend was refermented on raspberries and cherries for less than 2 months (just like blend #8 yet unlike any other Side Project beer ever) and then allowed to bottle condition since early May.” - Cory King. — 3 years ago
Elegant and delectable, with a texture of fine silk. Tastes French but avoids the thin acidity that plagues weaker red burgundies and Oregon Pinots. Delicately perfumed with flowers and red fruit, anchored by mushrooms and earth. I paired the 2016 vintage with French Camembert Fermier (Ferme de la Tremblaye) and an excellent pain de compagne from Wally’s in Santa Monica. Astoundingly good. — 5 years ago
Fermier El Mar 2018 Albarino. Tiniest bobbles, crisp acidity, stone fruits, cold mineral. Clean, nuanced, gentle on the start but opens its aromatics with time. Lovely.

Belle bouteille, producteur méconnu mais qui gagne à l'être. Au jeu de la comparaison, on pourrait dire que le fruit manque un peu de pureté... cerise et griottes. il y a un léger coté fermier, animal. La bouche est dense et il y a une belle longueur. — 9 years ago
Loaded with Brett but not like a Hipster sour beer brewer purposely adding Brett but a 3rd generation Normandy cider making family using the same old barrels Brett. Pretty interesting and funky. I'm liking it more and more as I drink it. — 9 years ago
