No ratings on this wine in a while it seems. The 2024 vintage is quite quaffable, although more tannin than I’d expect in a carbonic wine. Perhaps semi-carbonic, with some time on that 100% whole cluster following the carbonic maceration? A very enjoyable wine though, fruit forward as you’d expect from carbonic but with more structure and grip. Well made. — 4 months ago

Lovely Gamay. Needed an hour for the funk to blow off before the classic Beaujolais experience begins. Really funky. Juicy. Jammy. Surprisingly good structure for the fruit to hang onto. Earthy. Good! 13% ABV. No idea what vintage….doesn’t say 😲 — 4 years ago

The definition of a vin de soif! This Gamay from natural winemaker Christophe Foucher is very drinkable. Light (11%), bright, fresh, tart and mineral-y. Farmed organically and vinified without sulfites or other additives. — 7 years ago

A complex hot mess that goes way beyond the aromatic profile any 3 year old white should be capable of delivering. Stunning and bizarre. Looking for a Sancerre? Run screaming. — 8 years ago

Un vin qui se boit sans soif, si doux si précis, ce léger côté iodé et ce bon fruit aérien — 4 years ago

Aerate at least an hour, if you are not used to natural wines. Beautiful dark dress. Rich Malbec nose: plum-like black fruits, fatty animal notes of leather, floral and herbaceous touches. Palate: fresh and juicy, supple with volume. The first sips suggest a short wine; but finely chopped tannins unfold and well with a return to fresh fruit. A very fine thirst-quenching wine, both accessible and deceptively simple.

Aérer au moins une heure, si vous n’êtes pas habitués des vins natures. Belle robe sombre. Nez riche de Malbec: fruits noirs type Prune, notes grasses animales de cuirs, touches florales et herbacées. Bouche: fraîche et juteuse, souple avec du volume. Les premières gorgées laissent croire à un vin court; mais des tanins finement ciselés se déploient et bien avec un retour sur les fruits frais. Très beau vin de soif, à la fois accessible, et faussement simple. — 6 years ago

AM I EVER GOING TO BUY NIGHTSTANDS? No. But as I pretend to be an adult, I’ll be sipping this wine talking about the kind of nightstands I like (spoiler alert - solid wood). — 3 years ago

So rad! Developing really nicely and has not lost the sense of vitality these wines have in youth. Black brambly fruit, smoked herbs, rocks, exotic spices, sweet cloves, fur. Walks the line of soif and contemplation very well. — 5 years ago
