Exceedingly oxidized: bright copper/topaz in color with flavors of apple vinegar and stale beer. Not a good bottle.

Surprised how great this was with my dumplings

Merci Stéphanie. Un monstre :-)

You can tell this a natural wine on the nose. There's a fermentation driven note of plastic band-aid phenol preceded by classic white flower/potpourri.

Very rich, concentrated palate with a lot of sweet, baked apple and honey with that band-aid note on the finish. Mild acidity seems overmatched.

As much as I respect this producer's philosophy and skills, this was too sweet without enough acidity for me.

Served with...
Curry de Fenouil
Mille-Feuille

That wooly thing. Like a liquid wool sweater. I didn't quite get the reference until I drank this. Mouth full of tasty electric catterpillarsz.

Off the list at Roister. Nice fruit structure and acidity but wishing they offered the Coulee de Serrant

Honey, bruised fruit, pear, lees

Killer waxy, oily, wooly Chenin.
