An impressive wine from a humble appellation. Nose features bright ripe cherry and raspberry, earth, and a subtle woodsy touch on the edges. Delicious red fruit flavors with a slight creaminess to the texture and a refined, balanced finish. This small, family-run domaine is now fully organic and if not biodynamic, conducts various activities on lunar cycles. I look forward to trying other wines from them.

Dark hued fruits; cherry over berry fruit is both pretty and ripe, sweet spice. Juicy, fleshy, softly textured burr, generous fruit tends to compote, very pleasant; quite fruit forward and clean. Nice.

2nd bottle, decanted 90 mins, but from off more attractive - cherry and strawberry, hints of bubblegum but much less pronounced, nice fruit on the palate with some structure and grip emerging.

1st bottle after delivery - not decanted - quite deep colour for PN - sweet fruit almost estery like bubblegum on the nose - reminded me of Beaujolais. Strong sweetish fruit hit on the palate with not much evidence of anything else. Going to Italian class meant we finished the second half bottle 2 hours late - now much better balance - the ester smell largely gone and the palate was more structured and nuanced. Chibaken found similar, I going for 86 and will decant the next bottle. Mark Pardoe recommendation so I’m hoping for better.

Needs to decant. Lots of pepper and forest floor. Opens up with floral sweetness.
