Pretty fun. Dried apricot, coffee, a touch of VA. It's quite acidic, slightly fizzy, and clearly they went for lower sugar by upping the alcohol - and I'm not entirely sure that was the best call. Still, it's a tasty, well-made wine with a bit of tannin and some tea-like character. Enjoyable, quirky, but not quite a standout.

About

Epicure is a Jura Vin de Paille (straw wine), crafted from Chardonnay, Poulsard, and Savagnin grapes. These grapes undergo a drying process lasting around three months - historically done on straw mats - to concentrate their sugars and intensify flavour. After drying, the grapes are pressed, and the resulting wine is matured in barrels for approximately three years before bottling.
