here we have an uplifting wine of real harmony

Pinot Noir and Diolinoir (a Swiss grape that is a cross between Pinot Noir and a rare French variety Rouge de Diolly) grown on steep

this time using Bergeron

This wine also pairs extraordinarily well with fiery Asian spice too

unconventional and most certainly under-the-radar Loire experimentalism

with wonderful flinty notes of struck-match reduction on the nose and a lingering crackle of acidity

whole-bunch carbonic maceration before being pressed back into tank

Simply a joyous wine that’s been made with good times

Tiny quantities then

This is one to throw into the ice bucket and then pour out into generous glasses

clementine zest and more

maybe more - who knows
