Cult Wine of the Month

In March, it was the Domaine de Bellivière Calligramme.

This month, it is the Domaine de Bellivière Rouge Gorge 2002. This is such a fabulous expression of Pineau d'Aunis, a wine so beautiful you just want to stand around and be surrounded by its strange, exotic and beautiful bouquet.

Luxuriate.

It is so pretty, I'm almost hesitant to drink this wine!

The wine is available at all the usual suspects.

We were considering a push into New Zealand, but why bother if we can continue to find beauties like this in France.

Joe,

I posted a (slightly inebriated) TN on this a couple of nights ago on wine therapy; several dozens looks, but no replies. Are there many secret pineau d'aunis paramours?

Works for me. Where's the wine?

We will taste both the rouge gorge and the jasnieres les rosiers in the shop this evening, july 9. The caligramme is too precious and will very likely be consumed entirely by myself and my staff.
