Blend of Grenache, Syrah & Mourvèdre, deep Ruby with aromas of black fruits and pepper spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and black cherry with, loaded with spice and balanced acidity. Medium+ finish, fine tannins, ending with fruit and toasty spice. — a year ago

8.9

2008 vintage, recommended to drink between 2010-2012 (?). Nice now. Let breath a little, smooth and mellow, does not have a bold punch. Beautiful color and great legs, some hints of blackberry and earthy. Region is close to Chateauneuf de Pape my favorite. A gift from my brother after my return from a deployment. — 9 years ago

Bourgogne Passetoutgrain Pinot Noir 2018

9.1

Passe-tout-grain produces Pinot Noir and Gamay (often 50/50) blends vinified and aged together. They are traditionally simple and inexpensive wines. A few winemakers try it out with rigor and know-how, thus producing gems of freshness with a crisp character.
Unsulphured, unfiltered, biodynamic. It is a magnificent natural wine. Sublime nose, on an explosive floral bouquet. We bite into the fruit. Lively and ample. The finish is persistent on fine and coated tannins.

L’appellation Passe-tout-grain produit des assemblages pinot noir/gamay (souvent 50/50) vinifiés et élevés ensemble. Ce sont traditionnellement des vins simples et bon marchés. Quelques vignerons s’y essayent avec rigueur et savoir-faire, produisant ainsi des joyaux de fraîcheur au caractère croquant.
Non soufré, non filtré, biodynamic. C’est un magnifique vin nature. Nez sublime, sur un bouquet floral explosif. On croque dans les fruits. Vif et ample. Un délice de vin léger. La finale est persistante sur des tanins fins et enrobés. — 3 years ago

Good review. Sounds like a wine I’d like to try!

@Ericsson In view of your publications, we can bet yes. I have just returned from the cellar store where I bought several other cuvées from the same domain: Beaune, Saint-Romain, and a Syrah vinified with burgundy style ... to be continued

Damn! Wish I could taste those with you. My man!
