Had excellent nose as usual, full of flower bloom, strawberry, raspberry and earth that I associate with a good Naudin. Palate though is rather thin. Fruit is not holding up annymore and the shrill acid is taking over. This is past peak.

Light ruby. Pronounced. High acidity. Low tannin. Named after the plant Myosotis Arvenis, aka "Forget-me-nots" and Claire's Grandmother's favorite flower, grown near and amongst the vineyard site, and like the flower itself, this is a delicate wine. The nose is lifted, light and ethereal, while on the palate there is an exquisite deftness and finesse. Blood orange, raspberry, sour cherry, sweet spices, earth, rose, violet, wet stones. Lovely salty mineral long finish.
From 2 parcels of 40yo PN vines Grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in whole clusters with no temperature control in barriques for 16 months. Unfiltered, no SO2, though some SO2 is added at bottling to ensure that the wines remain stable thereafter. Biodynamic.

Robe déjà un peu évoluée, légèrement trouble. Une aromatique très délicate autour de la fraise écrasée, de notes florales avec un fond végétal léger.
C’est un vin tout en légèreté et délicatesse, presque évanescent. Un contact aérien et éthéré, un développement d’une grande douceur, une finale légèrement mentholée. Parfait bu pour lui même, il doit pouvoir s’accorder avec une volaille ou autres mets sur la finesse. Pas sûr qu’il gagne à être conservé, ce millésime 2017 montre un profil accessible et immédiat mais aussi une matière fine et peu concentrée. Quoi qu’il en soit c’était très bon en l’état.

Very expressive nose - red fruit melange and florals. Translucent garnet color, slightly browning. Light-bodied, relatively simple fruity taste, cleansing acidity. Fun to smell and drinks easily.

Very light ruby. Lifted, intense red fruits, strawberry, cheery, savoury, floral,swee t candied fruits, highly engaging and intoxicating. Bright acidity, precise, delineated, albeit a bit light on the palate . It is very natural-ish and super fine grained tannin with load of saline mineral.
