Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of several hours. The 2022 “Les Argiles Bleues” pours a deep ruby/purple with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with significant staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe brambles, plum, olive, bacon fat, purple flowers, and dry stony earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose, the finish is medium+. A lovely, plush Rasteau that more than delivers the good. Drink now through 2032. — 17 days ago

A French Pinot Noir, which is interestingly grown in Beaujolais. Begins with a welcome balance of fruit and earth on the nose with raspberry and cranberry along notes of mushroom and black pepper.  These flavors continue onto a very well balanced palate which has an a lively vein of acidity running though it. A perfect pairing with creamy truffle steak penne! [4/29/23] ($35) — 3 years ago

Another great bottle of this cuvée, still showing a ripe tropical fruit (pineapple?) note, consistent notes from my last 2 or 3 posts on this great Muscadet!! — 2 years ago
