Tasting Notes: Limpid, light ruby red colour, with the presence of small sediments due to the absence of filtration. Fairly consistent in the glass, with discreet softness. The nose is pretty intense and with a pleasing complexity. Aromas of cherry schnapps, acetone, poison ivy, earth, white pepper and some tobacco. In the mouth it is moderately dry, with a nice alcoholic note and fresh tannins.

Tasting Notes: This is a delicious and deeply mineral palate pleaser that seduces to lusty carousing. "Joli jus" is what the French would say to it! The name "Raisin Libre", loosely translated: the "free grapes", is a symbol of the new Beaujolais: a cry of freedom from the shackles of the unspeakable Primeur plague, which ruined the reputation of the region for decades.

Tasting Notes: Baptiste Cousin's "Ouech' Cousin" is a real treat. With a Grolleau in carbonic maceration, one can expect something a little too "light"... Here, of course, one finds that suppleness, crisp red fruit and the freshness typical of this grape variety, but the mouth remains silky, delicate and ripe, proof of a healthy harvest harvested at maturity. The Domaine Batossay still offers a wine of disconcerting ease but which does not lack depth.

Tasting Notes: 1 L Bottle. "Tutti i Giorni" Rosso by Antonio Camillo is the daily wine that one would always like to have on the table. A bottle with a generous drink that puts cheerfulness and good humor from the first sip and that finds its ideal location in a convivial and fun environment. A label made of simplicity and passion, which tells the story of the unspoiled nature of the wild Tuscan Maremma through its native grape varieties, ennobled by the hand of an expert winemaker.

Added S02: Yes

Funkyness: Funky

Tasting Notes: The burgundy color and subtle, yet layered scent, reveal the distinctive Pinot Noir. Characterized by aromas of red cherries, chocolate-coated sour cherries, fine berries, and a new leather belt. Moderately full-bodied, with a developed structure and opulent fruity freshness, it brings a graceful and lasting endnote of fruity character with a gentle note of hot spice.

Alcohol: 12.5%

Aging in wood: Yes
Soil: Limestone, Sandstone
Added S02: No

Funkyness: Mild

Tasting Notes: It smells intensely of dark cherries, underbrush, bay leaf and allspice. On the palate, it presents an intriguing grip as well as a pleasing acidity, thanks to the partially macerated raps. The body is powerful, though not as overloaded as neighboring Baden vintners. You should give the Pinot Noir Liaison some time in the decanter to give it some air and let it show its full beauty.
