Château Plaisance - Marc Penavayre

Bouysselet

2024 vintage. The first time I tasted this very rare grape variety, it was saved from extinction by Philippe and Diane Cauvin at Domaine La Colombière. These days a few estates produce Bouysselet wines, and intriguingly Château Anthonic in Moulis, grafted Bouysselet on Merlot vines, with the first production expected in 2025. I suspect this is produced from young vines, but the resulting wine is very interesting. The closest thing that comes to mind is Chenin Blanc, but it seems to have a character of its own. I will taste a few others soon. Abv. 13,5%. — 3 months ago

impressive - oxidized nose of grilled pineapple, spicy oak, dill, toasted nuts, golden delicous apples, some orchard fruit, lanolin, on the palate it was big & oily, silky & sexy, flavors from nose translated well. long finish, regal bearing - Macon represents great value, but this is on a slight decline so drink up! — 4 months ago
