Opened yesterday. Quite bretty and reductive upon opening, but the funkiness has blown away now. The nose shows cola, dark cherry, green pepper bell, and black pepper. That cola note is something I usually get with natural wines from loire and beaujolais. The palate is yummy with a great acid drive, some superb cherry notes all along, some black pepper, some pomegranate touches, a bit of a drying layer in the rear that is quite peppery and a long fruity, joyfull finish that goes on for a while. It's not your typical extracted chinon. It's a modern, low intervention style that is delicious but needs time to settle. The anti-brett community out there might have a hard time with it 😅 but give it some time to breathe, and you will be rewarded.
Edit: it's even better 4 hours after. Delicious juice with some complex layers on top of it — 12 days ago

Les Crays is Pinot Noir, says server. The vineyard is only Pinot but it presents as gamay with that wild flavor. A pretty version and nice finish. Excellent. — a month ago

A perplexing wine that we started with as a blind. We knew it was not champagne but all thought it was a field blend of chard, PN and Gamay. Maybe even some Meunier. Not a whole lot of info on this wine but supposedly 100% Chard. Has a pink color, fine mousse and I thought a little fruit in addition to the tart apple. Could easily have taken this for Pink Champagne — 4 months ago
