On the lighter, fresher side with an attractive level of brett adding to the complexity. Great served lightly chilled in the garden with some bbq.

Gobs of garrigue, fresh and fleshy red fruits this is such a great wine at an insane value. Mostly undiscovered gems like this are the gold at the end of the wine nerd rainbow. I can't wait to visit the region of Faugeres. #characterfordays

Dynamite with grilled pastured lamb chops and salsa verde. A tad more fruit than funk, but quite good. Definitely worth purchasing again. Bottled w/o SO2, I believe.

Funky on the nose, the finish is a bit sweet, nice length and acidity. Classic 'natural' wine.

Really interesting. Bit of effervescence when first opened, then dissipated after 15 min. Nice earthy funk.
