Bottle enjoyed at Ma Che Siete Venuti a Fá. Dark ruby pour with flowing white head. Nose is mild vinous and barrel bouquets. Another gem by Jean-Pierre, with delicious vinous overtones, mild acidity, mild tartness, and just enough funk to her honest. Really good body, mouthfeel, and balance.

Last Bottle for sale on this day at Cantillon pre Eurostar, 12th September 2025. Bottled October 2024. Pours a pretty pink. Aroma is vineous, fruity,, funky, earthy, musty. Taste is tart, grapes and fruit, light musty, sour, complex, wood, fruit skins. Enjoyable, surprised I had not had this before.

2022 vintage bottle at the brewery. Nose and taste are highly intense grapes, full-on fruityness, almost sweetly so. It’s got a fair amount of funkyness to pair it with and surprisingly low level of acidity. Hit the spot for me.

Bottle at Cantillon. 2024 version. Earthy up front. Berry and hedgerow fruit. Cherry lips sweets. Opens up in the glass nicely. Sweet on the lips and dry on the palate. Drank easy.

750mL bottle, pours a deep purpleish red with almost no head. Nose brings out earthy red grapes, light leather, and a touch of acidity. Flavour is flat, with earthy red grape skins, some tannins, oak, and moderate acidity. Earthy, tannic, and flat. It's good but the complexity isn't on the level of their blended grape lambics.
