Fun and lively oh-so-trendy petnat. Kinda a one note pony, but a tasty one note.

This has faded quite a bit. I still like Robinot, but the last few older bottles I’ve had have convinced me I should be drinking these on the younger side.

Closed and dead upon opening. Needed a few hours to come around. Usually this wine is so vibrant once opened—weird.

Not nearly as austere as it was upon release. Evolving at a nice pace.

Always one of my favorite sparklers. Really clean in this vintage and not as austere as the 2017. Green apple and lemon zest with a waxy finish.
