Nice, fruity, light but sweet as expected, match accordingly — 4 years ago
There's a great video on YT on what a Saison is. In short, it's a farmhouse ale (pale or sometimes red) that was historically served to farm workers as a clean source of hydration. Without any distinctive characters and lower in alcohol then, the "Saison" only really gained it's signature when the house in question came into the equation. Also, based on my research, the checkered "Vielle Provision" yellow labels are the export labels.
As it was here, the Dupont Brewery's Saison is generally cloudy, very carbonated via bottle conditioning, zesty and spicy, bitter with a hint of sour, and a dry hoppy finish. For me, this is truly "The beer for all seasons" - the flavours are just so versatile. Perfect for a warm summer afternoon in the park, yet complex enough to pair with a 3-star dish. — 5 years ago
Very pretty. Wilted rose. Red cherry. — 9 years ago
Rich amber color. Ripe-apple, dried fruit, nuts, new plastic, and butterscotch. A bit of oak and mouthfeel from the juice, cherry and raisins lingering a bit on the finish. 9/26/16 — 9 years ago

2022/8. Along with the Fichet Bourgogne Blanc VV, this was part of some recent fun exploring lower-designation wines appending Meursault Charmes. Really nice - pretty much all the elements you could expect in a villages and then some. — 3 years ago
2022/7/9-10 with chicken with white wine and tarragon, Kenji Lopez-Alt’s roasted potatoes, etc. This had a lovely, pure nose - high toned with citrus, flowers, minerals and a touch of sweet spice - with an invitingly juicy palate on day 1. On day 2 it was slightly looser and in a more overtly sweet-sour vein, but still tasty. — 3 years ago
An elegant Burg - well balanced and smooth and well balanced on the palette. Perfect with a nice grilled Orata! — 7 years ago
This will always be one of my favorites. — 9 years ago

When in Argentina drink…..rose? Syrah based rose from the extreme North of Argentina, in Juyjuy, just south of Bolivia & Paraguay. At 15.1% abv a “ light” red. Fresh cut wild strawberries soaked in rum, & sure, runs a bit hot but who’s counting when drinking rose in BA. Apparently some young, brave guns making wine this far north & it’s delicious. Enough balance to keep things lip smacking. — 2 years ago
