Pineau d’Aunis from Loire Valley, France

Bordeaux Bard – 88 Points

This wine has a pale, nearly transparent color. Its aroma is dominated by powerful pepper notes and ripe cherries. The palate is predominantly pepper with earthy undertones. The finish is somewhat short. With time, this wine becomes more approachable. It’s a unique choice, perfect for those seeking something unconventional. Made from a grape varietal that is not widely known, it offers a distinctive experience. (Carson McEvoy)

Food Pairing

Pairs well with Thai cuisine, soft cheese like brie or camembert, or semi-hard cheeses such as gruyère or comté, and red meats.
