Red fruit and white pepper. Very lean palate with more peppery gamey flavor and still young greenish tannin.

Fleurie rules. Great balance. Some nice mid palate weight with a steely clean acid on end. Darker fruit. Spice.

Wow 2014 really brought the tide up on this wine, really good Fleurie character with granite, fruit and crunchy acidity.

Good, but better in previous years. 2013 is thin, very feeble on the fruit, very slight tannins. Still enjoyable, but crossing my fingers for better vintages.

Strawberry jam and flowers. No earth to keep it grounded.

2018. Burgundy color. Very flavorful with ripe plum and light tobacco. Medium dry with pleasant tannins. Long persistence with smoky finish. This is a very pleasant wine.

One of the most drinkable wines I've had in a long time. Fruity, not too dry, and noticeable spice (black currant) without being overpowering or peppery.

It needed four days to become drinkable (slowly oxidizing in opened bottle). Good that I didn't poor it through the sink after day two 😀
