Stunning nose of vivid tobacco, gorgeous cassis, saddle leather, earth and mineral. Really intense nose. Wow the tobacco and leather are on overdrive. Supple and ripe palate with firm tannins and terrific freshness and some nice opulence but allied with energy. Terrific concentration and super intense mouth coating minerality. This will surely evolve with air and needed a break from Pinot. — 14 days ago

Opened yesterday. Quite bretty and reductive upon opening, but the funkiness has blown away now. The nose shows cola, dark cherry, green pepper bell, and black pepper. That cola note is something I usually get with natural wines from loire and beaujolais. The palate is yummy with a great acid drive, some superb cherry notes all along, some black pepper, some pomegranate touches, a bit of a drying layer in the rear that is quite peppery and a long fruity, joyfull finish that goes on for a while. It's not your typical extracted chinon. It's a modern, low intervention style that is delicious but needs time to settle. The anti-brett community out there might have a hard time with it 😅 but give it some time to breathe, and you will be rewarded.
Edit: it's even better 4 hours after. Delicious juice with some complex layers on top of it — 15 days ago

Great wine with seafood dinner. Beeswax, lemons, honey, saline, maybe some other citrus. Really lovely. — 5 days ago
