Par rapport a la bouteille bue en 2014 le vin c'est bonifie. L'acidite est moins mordante et le fruit toujours bien present avec des notes de groseille.

11.5% abv. Mostly pinot noir, some gamay. Ruby, clear. Nose of wild strawberries, red cherries. A bit smokey. Medium bodied, on the rounder side but still very fresh and bright in the mouth. Long. Premier cru burgundy in the Loire.

"Clos" dinner chez Rasoul (Vancouver, BC): Tasted blind – nose of strawberries and a hint of herbs with a very nice Asian spice notes that reminded me of Vosne-Romanee, but that’s where the similarities stop. On the palate there are very little tannins and average acidity with candied and juicy flavours that had many of us thinking Beaujolais/Gamay. Lighter in body with no real texture or richness or depth. An easy drinking wine that I would consider a ‘crowd pleaser’. Good.

Nose: Strawberry and raspberry juice alongside all kinds of earthy smells. Green pepper, green olive, and root vegetables right out of the ground, with some chalky minerality and wet wood. Smells like you're eating berries and walking around a farm after a rainstorm.
Mouthfeel: Quite light-bodied.
Palate: The earthiness hits first, then balances with the fruit. The finish is dominated by tart, fruity acidity with no real tannins to speak of. It doesn't hang around forever, but it's very nice.
An interesting, zippy red that tastes "real." Definitely grew on me as I refilled the glass.

Bu sans prise de notes. Belle acidite qui donne au vin beaucoup de fraicheur. Bien choisir l'association a table.
