Clos du Tue-Boeuf
Loire Valley Pineau d'Aunis
Loire Valley, France
Pineau d’Aunis is cultish now, finding its way into any situation that has previously worked for Gamay, Valdiguie, Grolleau, or Pinot Noir. Glowing shade of cranberry and a little bit murky with gorgeous aromatics. Perfumed Palo Santo incensed with dark red cherries, spruce, pine, menthol, and cinnamon. The texture has a little weight, plenty of minerals, and pyrazine from some stem inclusion.
And I love the end - pine and iodine and red candied cherry.
