Call me biased, but I love this style. Light, sophisticated and juicy stuff. Not sure if it ages well, but damn, it's so delicious today. Freshly grounded pepper, compote from forest berries with some animalistic notes. A great example where VA in small quantities adds complexity. Silky and quaffable. With medium acidity and low ABV, it's something you chill and drink while watching the sun preparing for sleep.
About
Tattouine Rouge? A deserted moon-like sphere on a label? If the corners of your lips are not dancing, you might be living under a rock. My congratulations, Patrick! On the other hand, Louis/Dressner says the name comes from a single vineyard of red schist soils named Tattouine (and not Tatooine, by the way).
Whole-cluster, four week maceration. Pressed and racked into 2500L foudre for aging. No sulpher added to the wine.
