70% Pineau d'Aunis / 20% Pinot Noir / 10% Cabernet Franc from the Coteaux du Vendômois AOC in the Loire Valley; 50-90 year old vines.

Color is dark purple, lightly translucent.

Nose has freshly ground white & black pepper, black cherry and red rose.

Palate has plum and blackberry, tremendous backbone of white pepper, earth with crunchy minerality, medium bodied and gentle but snappy tannins.

Call me caught off guard by this $16 Loire, smiles delivered! — 6 years ago

Grapefuit, buttery, nice with a watercress soup I had at the French restaurant where I found it. Could be a little brighter but all in all not bad. — 9 years ago

Showing a bit of 2006 "gras", but that brings a satin texture that will charm you. House signature is there which I love. Wish I had more. — 11 years ago

Love it. Still a little co2 on day 2. A little funky and super light. 90 gamay from Loire 10 poulsard. Beguet is becoming a new fav producer. Chambers wins again. Reminds me of ganevats many Vdfs but less than half the price. — 7 years ago

Bright fruit on the nose. Raspberry, strawberry, spice- clove continue through the palate. Light tannins. Probably hitting its stride and will last another 5 years at this level. — 12 years ago
