  Ouvert 2 heure avant sur un Burger de poulet pané sauce béarnaise. Très bon, belle finesse, fruit noir, épices et tanin fin encore jeune.

  30-minute double decant. Deep magenta color. Tart cherry, blueberry, cinnamon, earthy raspberry, fig, and minerality. Smooth, dry, tart palate. Very soft, almost non-existent, tannins on the medium short finish.
  
  Interesting wine. Received from Maggie Harrison’s “The Collective” wine club. This is very Pinot-esque in mostly bad ways. Very tart and light bodied.

  Robe grenat avec reflets violacés d'intensité moyenne +.
  
  Nez ouvert d'intensité moyenne de petits fruits rouges et noirs (pas 1 fruit qui se démarque), terre humide, épice léger. Quelques notes racinaires apparaissent encore après une 15 de minutes.
  
  La bouche présente deux profils, d'un coté par sa fraicheur, faible volume d'alcool (11%) et de l'autre par sa densité, concentration. Je rarement rencontré un tel contraste. Les tannins sont savoureux.
  
  C'est une cuvée typé de son terroir, agréable à découvrir. Les conditions de production expliquent et justifient son prix de production mais si je juge uniquement le contenu, cela reste élevé.

  A private dinner (Restaurant Mont Blanc, Amsterdam, NL): From the Côteau de Cévins, a south-facing terraced slope on mica-schist soils, 60% Persan en 40% Mondeuse Noire, whole bunch fermentation, 18 months in older wood, 11% ABV. Wonderful fruit definition, hint of reduction recedes quickly, forest floor, spices and flowers, natural and relaxed, soft and silky, pure and minerally, juicy and flowing, delicate but intense, roasted beef, sandy tannins, peppery and salty finish. Such elegance and precision, Like a Chambolle-Musigny from the Côte Brune, except that it's from Savoie...
