Very Burgundian on the nose, wet earth and fruit. Less serious and happier on the palate, slightly fizzy raspberry notes mixed with stones and dirt. Quite changeable (fasciatingly so) in the glass. Apparently the winemakers taught Catherine and Didier of CRB. While the wine is nothing like CRB, it has its own sort of joy. On the nose at least it's earth to CRB's minerals. The palate keeps shifting around the redfruit area.
Oooh - now it's like the liquid center of one of the best cherry chocolates you've ever had. How did that happen?
Unsulphured which probably accounts for the spritziness which is calms down as it sits in the glass. Don't know that I'd order this to be shipped, especially in this heat. I do know that I waited to pick up 2 more as well as 2 of the L'Erebe before posting this note. Better safe than sorry.
On day 2 it's still doing fine, a calmer and serener wine. I think I like it best at around 1-3 hours but it's fascinating to follow. The definition of natural wine may not be set in stone but it would be impossible to mistake this for anything else.
I should also mention that it's bottled with a crown capsule. So if you buy one please don't try and use a corkscrew.
