  This wine got hyped to me by a few people, but I couldn't really find a common ground with it. Popped and decanted for 3 hours, taste still remained pretty much the same as with the first sip. Cloudy ruby in the glass. Strong VA notes both on the nose and palate, tough to see beyond them. The berry fruit character of Poulsard is there, but the strong volatility really doesn't allow it to shine. Tannins are soft, non-existent and alcohol is low. Finish is moderate and quite expressed on the acid front. Won't be coming back to this.

  Some volatile acidity, lots of cherry fruit. Slightly pétillant, light bodied and juicy.

  Total Brett bomb. Consistent with just about every other bottle of natural Poulsard I’ve had. Repulsive.
  
  Just in case that little whine knobhead loser shows up in the comments, let me just say “Forceberry was right and you are a simpleton and a jackass”.

  Couleur un peu trouble, claire.
  Nez sur la fraise, éclatant dès l'ouverture, un fond végétal.
  
  De manière assez surprenante, un léger perlant qui n'était pas perceptible à l'ouverture apparait à l'aération, avec la hausse de la température du vin j'imagine. Un passage en carafe rapide permet de s'en débarrasser. Un vin un peu plus sérieux que le PlouPlou toute proportions gardées bien sûr, on reste toutefois sur un vin glouglou, facile à boire et digeste. Inutile de préciser que si on est allergique au style nature, on peut passer directement à autre chose et éviter de perdre son temps, son foie et son argent.
  
  J'ai aimé, mais des trois cuvées dégustées j'ai préféré et d'assez loin le Pinot.
