La Tesnière Pineau d'Aunis 2001
We heard from Thirery Puzelat that he has been able to secure a nice allocation of 2001 Pineau d'Aunis from the famous La Tesnière vineyard in the Touraine. While the harvest has not been a joyous one, Thierry is delighted with the quality of the fruit he bought from this biodynamic vineyard.
A lot of people think all this talk of biodynamie, organic farming, working the vineyeards, etc., is all nonsense.
It is in years like 2001 where one sees the advantage -- that well treated vineyards produce better fruit in difficult climatic conditions. This is not a rule, but an observation.
Cosmocultural Beaujolais?
Beaujolais cult winemaker Jean-Paul Brun was seen in Paris this week with Philippe Viret of the Cosmoculturist Domaine Viret.
Could something be brewing in Charnay-en-Beaujolais?
Speaking of Charnay....if you are drinking the Seguret from internet cult winemaker Eric Texier these days....cool it down a bit before drinking. It will show wonderfully.
