The off dry pineau d'Aunis of Bellivière - aging very well, with the sweetness really balancing the wet vegetal, capsicum, black pepper cracked of the varietal

A lot of points for unique character here. A brilliant deep orange color. The aroma is a mix of cracked black peppercorns, vegetal stemmy notes, and blood oranges. The palate is a shock of initial sweetness that finishes completely dry, but this is a demi-sec so should not be too shocking. If a Mosel Riesling and a Loire Pinot Noir rose had a stem inclusion baby this would be it. The palate adds more of a ruby grapefruit citrus dusted with fresh cracked pepper.
