Gorgeous. Earth, mushrooms, lifted red fruit. Wildly aromatic. Hints of peppermint.

Yummy, tart red fruit, dried earth & touch of spice. Perfect for late summer grill out!

"Peut-etre pas si fragile qu'il n'y parait?" asks the producer in a promo sheet I found for the flower cuvees - "Perhaps not so fragile as it seems?" Perhaps not! This is basically showing as a completely different wine than the bottle I had two months ago, substantially sturdier and more expressive, like it had totally awoken from a long sleep - and it was already a pretty thing even when it was groggy. Now, however, it's a knockout. It's got a wide array of enticing flavors and scents, most of them subtle but the cumulative effect is a nice earthy punch on a nimble frame, sort of reminiscent of a Truchot wine but more earthy than funky. These are really wild flavors, not the usual things derivative from fruit and barrels - there's stuff like truffle and carob here. Hard to keep my nose out of the glass, but it delivers on the palate too, where the figure is lean and feminine but quite a bit denser and fruitier than my bottle a few months ago - no more sense of fragility, it's a powered elegance.

Light medium ruby. Rustic and fresh. Bright cherries, figs, cedar. Medium acidity, medium- body, medium finish. Village level at least.
