Intuition Coteaux du Vendômois Pineau d'Aunis 2015

9.2

Nose has white pepper, spruce needles, cedar shavings, fresh cherry and mashed black currant.

Palate has pepper dusted mashed cherry, tart blueberry, black cherry, (light) limestone dust and (light) new oak. Medium levels of acidity/tannin help this wine to be very soft and enjoyable.

100% Pineau d’Aunis from 125 year old vines; maceration in barrels and amphoras, then barrel aged for one year. — 4 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. — 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. — 5 years ago

Best kind of wine is the unexpected (positive) surprise!

@Aravind Asok Yes! Best when it's inexpensive wine over delivering, I've had, and sure you've had, expensive bottles that give an unexpected surprise...👎👎 under delivering.

Too true...makes me wary of "unicorns"
