Les Chazaux Poulsard

Maybe not the best wine of the evening, but easily my favourite - I can see myself gulping the whole bottle solo.

Oh wow, this is beautiful. Touch of earth grounding all those rosehips and flowers, with hints of blood pudding keeping it real. Gorgeously juicy with crystalline minerality, pencil lead and blood iron mixing with ripe berry sweetness. Like sucking on some elegant hard candy. The development in glass is mesmerising - keeps unfolding new layers without getting all wild and gamey. This is Poulsard showing its ethereal grace without trying to be something bigger. Pure Jura magic that makes you understand why Jacob was Ganevat's protégé. Dangerous stuff - too easy to drink.
