Sourced from 100% 45-year-old Gamay Noir vines grown in granitic sand, hence the name, this unique sparkling rosé walks a very fine line between funk and fruit. Ripe strawberries and plump market raspberries are unearthed, once one gets past damp spring soil, that walk through the barn in sodden boots (and yes, I had a barn with animals, I know it well). Given that, its unusual countenance is a welcome break. It's more classically styled and delicate on the palate and a very nice companion to charcuterie. It's well worth mentioning that this was tasted at Bar Avignon, a wine bar in Portland, Oregon that I highly recommend. — 11 years ago

My fav bordeaux of the night but others preferred the '85 calon segur...this was lightsr and more elegant, and more ready to drink but will still hold for several more years. Great mature old boots, leaves and mushroom with a kiss of cassis still hanging around...very well balanced, well oaked classic bordeaux. — 11 years ago

Second vintage I've tried, grown into its boots with the additional vintage. Black fruit meets fennel for a quick fumble; soft and pillowy entry before things get down and dirty with depth and spice. — 11 years ago

Aromas of mushrooms, underbrush, cassis, blackberries, old leather boots, volate acidity, crushed stones, and black pepper. Rustic, dirty, earthy, dark fruits, leather, dark chocolate, and some rancio notes. Weak but some rustic beauty to it. — 13 years ago

Gardenia, honey and new rubber rain boots on the nose. Taste sweet and crisp, but not as balanced as I would like. A little too much alcohol on the finish. — 11 years ago

Yinka says she likes the smell of the cowboy boots on this. Anyway, it's drinking real fine with the duck tagine at Bay Wolf. — 12 years ago

Definitely on the earthy side, as if chewing on the finest Italian (errrr French) leather boots. It finishes with softer strawberry and black cherry notes, while maintaining its earthy character. Little bitterness (drank without food). I'll update after food. — 13 years ago
