”Wild fermented in a combination of used French oak and a concrete egg. Mlf was discouraged to retain acidity. More flavourful than in recent years. Stone and orchard fruits spill across gentle acid rails. The fruit intensity verges on palate staining, yet the feel is mid-weighted, nicely slippery, moderately fresh and not dissimilar to a Mâcon from a warmer vintage, despite it being a cooler one in these parts.”
