Calico Charnay White Blend

Super natty on paper just not too exciting for me. The muscat doesn’t really come through. But still enjoyable.

Drank with good Russian friends. Killing. Fresh and multi full.

12 January 2017. Verre de Terre, New York, NY.

Smelled a bit tropical on nose - fun wine to explore.

Super interesting white blend from Beaujolais by Eric Texier. Kitchen sink blend, supposedly even the winemaker isn't sure what some of the native grapes are. Nose reminscent of a Jura white, with hints of oxidation. Tart, funky flavors on the palate, reminds me more of some of the project wines Ive had from Napa like Scholium Project than a French wine. Different, funky but very enjoyable.
