A wine full of charm in all simplicity for lovers of light wines, and freshness. Light and clear ruby color. Nose: sour red fruits and black pepper. The mouth is simple but not devoid of matter. Few tannins but material carried by an interesting mineral character. Drink refreshed around 12/14 degrees.

Un vin plein de charme en toute simplicité pour les amateurs de vins légers, sur la fraîcheur. Robe rubis, claire et limpide. Nez fruits rouges acidulés et poivre noir. La bouche est simple mais non dénuée de matière. Peu de tanins mais de la matière portée par un caractère minéral intéressant. À boire rafraîchi vers 12/14 degrés.

Grape variety: Pineau d'Aunis. Cherry color, translucent, limpid. Original and aromatic nose with notes of red fruits, pepper, cinnamon. Palate: light and supple, with marked minerality, but very contained acidity. Original musky notes, terroir, floral aromas. Somewhere between an Alsatian Pinot-noir and a Touraine Cabernet-franc. Light red wine, nice.

Cépage: Pineau d’Aunis. Robe cerise, translucide, limpide. Nez original et aromatique aux notes fruits rouges, poivre, canelle. Bouche: légère et souple, avec une minéralité marquée, mais acidité très contenue. Notes originales musquées, terroir, arômes floraux. Quelque part entre un Pinot-noir alsacien et un Cabernet-franc de Touraine. Vin rouge léger, sympathique.

The body that I love...with some pine and pepper to boot. A tinder match for sure. Will go the distance.

Nice one. Really liking the pineaus grape now. Light. Little age. Starting to change color to burnt red. Light bodied. Little wood and spice.
