Glouglou!!! young vines, think that they’re growing biodynamically, bright, crunchy, snappy delicious! red cherry, a bit green pepper. I enjoy this so much.

Very nice extremely drinkable red. Caught my eye as last time we had a wine from Les Poyeux was a Clos Rougeard at Commander’s Palace in New Orleans. This was at Balthazar. Definitely on the more glou glou side of things - but quite enjoyable. And a nice pairing with a frisée lardon, halibut, and a steak au poivre.
