Longtime favorite and I snap up this foxy number whenever I see it. Crunchy strawberry and herbs, a bit of animal and yeast at the end but not too much to compromise the freshness. I don’t think this ages and should be drunk up but that doesn’t make it any less special

Aug 11th, 2022An all time fave for summer sipping with a slight chill yet able to stand up to serious cuisine. Jura funk and strawberry, with the red fruit particularly pronounced in this warm vintage

Once the funk blows off, it’s just gorgeous wild strawberry, peaches. Light ruby hue. Decant.

Funky, barnyard, ammonia and haystack...wine at its most primitive. AKA soulful!

Really like this stuff. It's been a real roller coaster: juicy red fruit at first, then went through a shitty VA-heavy phase, and now, 3 days after being open, it's woodsy and herbaceous, if a bit short. Transcendental? No. But a lesson in what 'natural' wine can do.
