So many different notes and tastes. Perfect for drinking slightly chilled and the let warm up and evolve. — 3 years ago
Fruity, a bit funky and a tiny touch of fizz. A Hazel favourite. — 4 years ago
Sous Le Végétal - a collaboration project between Jason Ligas and Patrick Bouju to showcase the micro terriors of the Greek island, Samos. I had four sites available to choose from at the bar, and the sommelier recommended the Palli et Genesia based on my preference for "zippy and mineral". She sure hit the nail on the head here - high acid and salty! This skin-contact muscat smelled like seaweed and lychees. On the palate - pears, honey, dried herbs, sea-salt, with a albumen-like texture. Taken over by volatile acidity on the next day. Overall, a very compelling expression of muscat. — 3 years ago

So far all Bouju wines I tasted are powerful, overly young and not simple (in variety of meanings). This one is no exception. Ripe cherry, dark cherry, earthy hints, chocolate powder, white pepper, banana. All this leads me to Morgon or some neighbouring appellation, but nope! Tannic, astringent palate with highly volatile finish backed by black cherry. Definitely interesting and sophisticated wine. But so damn young! Decant unless you want to be washed away by a wave of hair spray! Then it becomes beautiful, by gaining medicinal herbs notes in the nose and cherry-vanilla-VA-chocolate flavours. Giving extra 1 for no apparent reason.
