Concentrated garnet colour, unfiltered. Nose of natural wines, needing to be aerated for the least accustomed consumers. Notes of red fruits cherry, strawberry, cranberry, floral notes and sweet spices, typical of PN, cloves, cinnamon. In the mouth it is well balanced, very flexible and digestible, the acidity is average. Correct length without frills. Pretty Alsatian black PN to drink on youth and crunchyness.

Robe grenat concentrée, non filtrée. Nez des vins natures, ayant besoin d’être aéré pour consommateurs les moins habitués. Notes de fruits rouges cerise, fraise, canneberge, notes florales et épices douces, typique du PN, girofle, cannelle. En bouche c’est bien balancé, très souple et digeste, l’acidité est moyenne. Longueur correcte sans fioriture. Jolie PN noir alsacien à boire jeune et croquant. — 3 years ago

Wine #8 on Jean-Pierre Robinot Uncorked Vol. 1

Wow. It's like melted strawberry ice cream on a hot day. Guilty pleasure? I feel no guilt. Easily among my favourite rosé sparkling wines. It has a beautiful grapefruit colour and a charming bouquet of strawberry, barberry, grapefruit, bakery, flowers, and earth. Not overly complex, but incredibly charming, delicious, and seductive. A bit sweet, but well balanced, fresh, and quaffable. Wonderful wine.

Un très beau St-Aubin avec cette signature des vins de PYCM, très minérale entre autres, tout en ayant une richesse et rondeur typique du millésime mais sans lourdeur, des saveurs franches et intenses avec une très belle longueur, vraiment très bien. 91-92

Superb St-Aubin with this PYCM signature, mineral driven with a certain richness and roundness typical of that vintage, but without being too heavy, nice length, gorgeous and showing no rush to drink up this 2015. — 4 years ago

LoireTasting #1 - chenin serie
Typically the lively and charming Chenin that we like to taste in the Loire: White fruits, pear, green apple, rifle stone, smoked. Dry and tonic. Final on the rather long acidity. Purity of wines with little interventionist. Nice precision. Ideal companion of goat cheeses from the region, among others..

Typiquement le Chenin vif et charmant qu’on aime goûter en Loire: Fruits blancs, poire, pomme vert, Pierre à fusil, fumé. Sec et tonique. Finale sur l’acidité assez longue. Pureté des vins peu interventionnistes. Belle précision. Compagnon idéal des fromages de chèvres de la région, entre autres.. longueur remarquable sur la fraîcheur minérale. — 3 years ago
