80 Gamay / 20 Persan - We pass through here each year on the way from Lyon to ski in the Alps and I never realized where we stop around Albertville is basically where the winery is. In a way it makes me think of the damp rocky with some green trees and dormant vines - it's a little gamey on the nose, but it has bright red fruit and a bit of black tea.

A bit of bottle stink that takes a while in the decanter to clean up. Medium light body, with with a dark colour. There’s some juicy and bright berry fruit, but the acidity is a bit too strong and stands out, probably good a little chilled on a hot evening over dinner. A bitover priced at £32 although easy enough to drink

(Les Av.) A l’aveugle: vin vif, nez pur, un brin nature dans son expression (pas mechante la petite souris), ça fait gamay mais tres vif… c’est pur, mais cela reste cependant drôlement acide; on le he le caillou, les fruits rouges sont plus sur la groseille, perso je le trouve déséquilibré et finalement apte à vieillir. Servir à 15/16°

murky and moderately dense. cinnamon and berries on the nose. medium bodied, well acidic, refreshing. almost like melon. juicy blackberries intermingled with bay leaf and thyme on the palate. sneaky fine tannins on the back and a small bit of astringency.

Quite fresh with light tannins and a peppery, slightly spicey finish.
Easy to drink; not bad.
