Pencil lead. Herbs. Micro-Skunk. Weighty fruit. This is gamay as it it supposed to be. Horsey. Don't get me wrong... I love it.

Bouteille qui se boit tout seul. Fraise et poivre, texture fine. Joliment acidulé. Glou!

I love this! Nice fruit, lightly tart, delicious even with a light chill. A great natural wine.
