Tonight, I made a paella and pulled from the cellar a bottle of the Ganevat Cotes de Jura "L'Enfant Terrible" which was neither refermenting nor overly Bretty and instead was captivatingly lovely, greeting us with a meat-inflected strawberry bouquet, smoke, minerality and bright acidity in a light, lithe package with a delightful petillance to further brighten it. Jean, no great fan of my "weird" wines, proclaimed it the most inspiring wine she's had in ages (FLJim, Jean's 2/2 now on Poulsard with your Overnoy Pupillin last year) and I thought it was the best match I've had with my paella ever. It can probably improve with age for a few years, but it's so tasty now who the fuck cares?
