Gerard Marula VdF Baconnelle 2021
Regular price $74
Touraine and Loire, declassified Chinon actually, and all cabernet franc. Baconnelle, bacon hell. Attractive perfume of forest floor, dried cranberry, cherry, smoked ham, whiffs of mezcal and white pepper. Crisp edged in the palate with a nice, dark cherry juicy slosh, some earthy spices in the mix, liquorice, game meat, white pepper galore. Sense of lightness but finds great balance in green vs red/blue fruit character. Lovely. Lithe. Pure.
