Popped and poured from fridge temperature into a Grassl Liberte. The aromas jump from the glass with lemon, stones, yeast, and marzipan. The acid and breads/nuttiness actually reminds me faintly of my sourdough starter (RIP).
The palate is lively, lemony, and acid forward with plenty of mineral backing. The mousse is fine, and the texture is overall enveloping and silky. The finish brings the more dosage-inflected nutty elements in a way I enjoy. There and adding pleasure but not overpowering the acid drive.

this is delish. color is dark straw. mousse shows tiny beads. Has that oxygen kissed citrus peel that i love. shows its heritage of mostly meunier but has plenty of structure so not too earthy. new producer for me that i enjoy.

Pizza Night on the Parkway (Candie's, Mpls): Light gold. Small glass. Yeasty, lemon, white fruits, good minerality and minerality. I always seem to pass on these when I come across an offer, so it was nice to try one again. This was very enjoyable, thanks Craig.

Any Rhone (A Side Public House): A reall small pour, but this screamed extra brut and seemed a bit dull.

Monthly Tasting Group: All the Rhones (A - Side Public House, St. Paul, MN): Very tiny taste in what was a second go at this in the last month. Similar experience. Tart, rather mineral driven, white citrus, ginger, spicy. 91pts.
