Beautiful and intriguing wine from off the coast of France, below Muscadet, where the vines grow mere inches off the ground from the brutal winds, and the soil is all schist rock.  Dark cherries, tons of mineral notes, and also some wild game. Extremely taut acidity.

Loire pinot where muscadet hails from. Fascinating salinity and bright crunchy fruit

On sent pas le 17 ans d'age, c'est léger, simple et goûtu.

This is a bottle of 2007 that I've had for a few years but forgot about. It's still opening up but so far it's delicious. Definite funky barnyard, mushroom smell. Funky but smooth flavor with dark fruits that stay on my tongue - not bright, more like dried fruit, but not sweet. It's really delightful. Oddly, I tried it while eating kettle corn and it complemented the sweet/salty.
