Funky, chalky, long peppery finish. Lovely and weird. And from Japanese winemakers working in the Loire. Alright girl! 💅🏾 ...

This is in a very good spot right now. I had the 2017 Les Aussigouins earlier this year and felt it was a bit disjointed and needed time. I would think this is drinking at about peak right now but it could still go for a few more years if you have a bottle around. This has some classic beeswax/lanolin character but really relies on its acid structure to carry it. Lots of minerality and texture.
