Complex, bold, demanding. Lemon, grape fruit, some gosberry and melon, white pepper. Very focuswd and dry. Keeps evolving in the glass. Needs air or decant even.

Almost...and there it is! Do NOT rush me...do not! If you are in any hurry, just put this back. Glass? no. shake up? No. Decanter? I guess? Just give it a couple hours and: black pepper, white pepper, rosemary, game meats, seashells. Time for another bottle. And quick!

In wine, revolution often comes in the form of discovering something old and previously forgotten. Such is the case with the ancient Loire variety Pineau D'Aunis. Light-bodied, with a pomegranate tartness and endlessly compelling aromatics (think Middle Eastern spice bazaar), the grape can produce a seriously exotic beauty of a wine. Prime example is vigneron Eric Nicolas' Rouge Gorge, which year in and out captivates with curiousity and elegance.
