This is good. Totally the right idea for a Friday night in the summertime.

Great mix of VA and red fruits. Very typical of Michel Guignier's style.

Really liked this. Put a chill on it, a little hazy, fruit was bright and fresh. Paired with fresh pasta, al fresco.

Pleased to report that the 2016 has lost none of the book-binding undertones of the 2014. Lots of cranberry, summer fruits. Acid.

Light tart funky/natty delicious. Smells like twizzlers tastes like stemmy/spicy cranberry cherry juice. Improves with air. 10.5%

Pomegranates, underripe strawberry, oyster mushrooms, book bindings, game, allspice. Snapping acidity, minimal tannin presence, silky-juicy texture, light bodied, tart fruity/savory finish. Highly aromatic earthy-fruity bouquet. Seemed to evolve every 5 minutes. This wine is alive!

In its sweet spot after three years in the cellar. Nothing says fall and autumn leaves like a cru or good village level Beaujolais. Faded garnet color with rim gradation. Lovely aromatics--barnyard funk, cherries. Cherries, cider and a hint of cinnamon on the palate. Totally enjoyable and perfect with spelt flour, apple, and Parma ham galette.
