Can we agree that this wine is a benchmark for, IDK, good everyday wine? I mean, no matter how many bottles you've drunk, the latest one is still a delight.

Blackberries, flowers and funk. Sometimes simple is better. Thirst quenching, juicy and pleasurable with every sip. Thierry Puzelat and Pierre-Olivier Bonhomie have hit on solid gold pleasure in a glass. If you're not drinking it cold then you're not truly enjoying it.

Fresh stripped cedar between your palms - blackberry and black cherry. 2019 is big. Good concentration with well integrated tannin and minerals too.

A shower of rose petals and multi-hued small berries.

I’ve really fallen hard for Loire gamay this fall and late summer, and this one is a classic.

This wine truly benefits from a good amount of air. I drank it over the span of three days, and I felt as if I was drinking three different wines! Good everyday kind of stuff.

This wine makes me smile, until I too quickly find the bottle empty.

Funky, almost meaty nose, segues to a squashed black currant palate. Spice. Just downright delicious.
