  The wine is NV, but since all the sources say that this is 2018, I must assume this is 2018 vintage. The small wax coating on the crown cap (not around it) seems like a lousy joke. This is a naturalist pét-nat composed of a blend of Poulsard and Gamay, in the style of Bugey-Cerdon. 11% alcohol.
  
  Pale reddish-pink color. Clean, restrained and fruity nose with aromas of ripe red apples, some strawberry, a little bit of brambly raspberry, light leesy notes of yeast, a hint of white peach and a touch of fruit candies. the wine is dry-ish to off-dry and light-bodied on the palate with rather ripe flavors of ripe red apples and fresh cherries, some crunchy white fruits, a little bit of strawberry whipped cream, light stony mineral tones, creamy hints of leesiness and a touch of licorice. Moderately high in acidity with tiny, soft mousse. The finish is quite straightforward and rather short with quite clean flavors of strawberries, apples, some brambly raspberries, a little bit of boysenberry, a hint of leesy yeast and a subtle touch of something funky that might turn into mousiness with air. Fortunately for the time being there is no mousiness in the aftertaste.
  
  A nice, easy and straightforward little pét-nat. Feels like an inexpensive Sec sparkling wine that can't decide whether to be white or rosé. Perhaps a bit simple, linear and short, but eminently refreshing and drinkable. The strawberry whipped cream notes seem to grow only intensity with air, but I fear that so do the funky notes in the aftertaste suggesting mousiness, which is why I wouldn't leave the wine opened for a particularly long time. Pop open and drink fast.

  tasty, creamy, super light shade of pink. Agree with previous, just a tough of ripe fruit with nice acidity to balance.

  Fresh and elegant. A hint of red berries that is beautifully balaned with acidity and a slightly creamy, full texture. Great aperitif.
