Description
After studying viticulture and oenology in Beaune, Simon Lecomte sets out on a journey to meet avant-garde winegrowers. He draws on their words and practices and returns to Burgundy to set up a brewery there with the aim of transposing oenology and winemaking processes to the development of his beers. He begins by filling around thirty barrels which he stores with fellow winegrowers. In 2018, he set up the brewery in Sens, a small hamlet of Sennecey-Le-Grand, following the discovery of an old virgin 17th century barn. After several months of work to rehabilitate the place, he installed his tanks there and continued the work initiated a few years earlier. It was not until spring 2019 before the first beers were released from their barrels

Hapu ja viinamarjane. Kompleksust võiks ehk veits enam olla aga muidu mõnsa.

75cl. Bottle # 105/570 @ SirAlex share, Oluf Bagers Gade. Pours hazy red with a small head. Tart raspberry with very little funk and levels of complexity but ripe and very jammy. Toothache - just around the corner. Very dry finish.

Bouteille 37.5cl de et partagée avec Vincent, merci.Date de BB 12/03/2040 - très audacieux de visier si haut. Lot# 12032, bottle # 715/1600. Brasserie qui semble être le grand nom à la mode du craft français - nouveau pour moi en tout cas.
Dorée pâle sur un léger voile, pas de col.
Arôme est de suite sur un côté citrique marqué, un peu végétal - voire farineux de levure de cidre. Un nez 'funk' marqué
Palais est assez haut en effervescence - ce qui repose encore le question d'où cette bière sera dans le futur avec une telle date de 2040. Le caractère est âpre en bouche rehaussé par un côté citrique marqué. Petit note citronnée - wild yeast-quasi bretts et un fini de baies sauvages - groseilles vertes.
In fine, ne vaut pas le prix demandé - le côté Solera semble caché pour une bière qui oscille entre sour et farmhouse américaine mais voulant s'agripper aux méthodes du lambic. Ici, le résultat est mitigé voire brouillon. En l'état, je n'ai rien noté au niveau de l'usage de deux barriques de vins.

375ml bottle, online from Trembling Madness. Pours pale gold with virtually no head. Aroma: lactic, yeast, wood, light funky. Taste: moderate sour, incredibly dry, tangy, oak, sour apple, vinous hints. Medium body with no carbonation. Fairly one dimensional but glad I got to try it.
