Domaine Nicolas Gonin
Isere Balmes Dauphinoises Persan
Spicy berries, violets, savory. Brambles, forest floor, tart cherry. Bright, good acid, a bit short, but a fascinating orphan varietal.

Oct 21st, 2017Very interesting, unusual grape. High, almost tomato-like acidity. Juicy red fruit with a savory quality and a very peppery finish.

Feb 16th, 2016Dead ringer for Mondeuse on the nose. Very acidic red wine. Most with be surprised by the color/acid profile. This begs for foods with fat or richness. It's an honor to be able to try a grapes resurrection.
