Ten bottles that counted. Plus: a visit to Marne biodynamic natural Champagne maestro Sébastien Mouzon. And lunch at L'Eurasienne, the adorable and unlikely natural wine haven of Epernay.
Recently I rediscovered Cinsault and it re-started with cuvée “Paulou” ‘22 from Gérald. I tasted and bought it from Jocélyne (salon in Clermont-Ferrand), where it was one of the highlights.
Afterwards then came “Brutal Rouge” ‘22 (La Sorga) and “Gourmandise” ‘23 (J Peyras); these are brilliant wines (and nice alcohol levels!) from a brilliant grape. I knew Julien (La Remise, long time ago), but forgot all about him; until very recently and, really, almost all of his wines are great.
ah i didn't realize they were already making "paulou" in 2022! happy to hear you found it remarkable too. agreed on the 2022 brutal from la sorga, too! tasted it in copenhagen at rosforth last year and was really impressed
