\"2009-06-02_620091684\"<\/a>Date tasted:\u00a0 June 2nd, 3rd & 5th, 2009
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Located in the Anjou region of the Loire Valley in France, the Domaine Griottes<\/a> is a natural wine maker making very interesting wines.<\/p>\n

This wine is a Vin de Table, or Table wine,\u00a0 made with 40% Pineau d’Aunis, 30% Grouillot and 30% Gamay.\u00a0 The Pineau d’Aunis grape was more widely planted in the Loire in the past but has been largely ripped out to make more room for commercial grapes.\u00a0 Dating back to medieval times,\u00a0 this individual variety bears small black grapes.<\/p>\n

The grapes for this wine are picked entirely by hand.\u00a0 The maceration period is between 60-70 days in fiberglass.\u00a0 No treatments, no sulfur, no filtration nor fining.\u00a0 Only indigenous yeast – spontaneous fermentation.\u00a0 This wine was bottled around August of 2007 and is totally without any additives.\u00a0 It’s totally natural.<\/p>\n

\"2009-06-02_620091685\"<\/a>First tasting (June 2, 2009 15:00):<\/strong><\/p>\n

Appearance:<\/strong> Light Color. Dark pink rose pedal, light red. See through like a Pinot Noir. In a blind tasting, the Pinot Noir would be the first grape I would think of.<\/p>\n

Nose:<\/strong> Incense, white pepper, black tea, musk, cherry and raspberries. With some air, hints of blackberries also emerged.\u00a0 Very complex for a light & fresh wine with only 11% alcohol. Hints of saddle or baseball mitt and hints of licorice also emerging.<\/p>\n

Palate:<\/strong> Light and fresh with medium plus acidity.\u00a0 Medium fruit tannins with precise, focused fruit shining through. Red plums and plum pits.\u00a0 Long, fruity finish with persistent well-integrated tannins.\u00a0 The alcohol is extremely well integrated.<\/p>\n

Second tasting (June 3, 2009 23:56)<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Appearance:<\/strong> Only slightly darker, but not much color change noticeable.<\/p>\n

Nose: <\/strong>Less of the exotic spices, more dark plums and hints of blackberry. Seems a bit more closed tonight then it did yesterday afternoon..With more glass swirling, more of the pepper and licorice emerged again.<\/p>\n

Palate: <\/strong>Tannins are firmer than yesterday, but still only at a medium minus to medium level.. Some roasted meat aromas and rosemary. Dark plums.\u00a0 Acidity still medium to medium plus.\u00a0\u00a0 Some hints of pepper, smoke and minerals in the background.<\/p>\n

Compared to yesterday, less aromatic and spicy on the nose.\u00a0 Not as exotic.\u00a0 A bit more focused and serious.\u00a0 Good concentration while still remaining light and fresh with a 30 second finish.\u00a0 The alcohol is a bit more noticeable than yesterday.. Will retaste tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Third tasting (June 5, 2009 00:49)<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Nose:<\/strong> Again, less exotic and less “spicy”.\u00a0 More perfumed and floral.\u00a0 Dark plums and morel cherries.\u00a0 Hints of red fruit and anise.\u00a0 A bit nutty.<\/p>\n

Palate: <\/strong>Superb concentration with hints of hazelnuts.\u00a0 A bit darker fruit, plums and some blackberries, with supporting red fruit like raspberries.\u00a0 Mild plus tannins. Medium acidity.\u00a0 Quite elegant and long with a smoky aftertaste.\u00a0 Surprisingly structured and still drinking well.\u00a0 A bit more serious than yesterday with very well integrated alcohol.\u00a0 Drinking very well today.<\/p>\n

Open for almost 3 days and stored in the cellar at around 16\u00b0C, and still beautiful, in fact perhaps better than when I opened.\u00a0 Who says you need to add sulfur to wine to keep it once opened.\u00a0 In my opinion, natural wine is alive and with a little air and some days exposed to oxygen, the wine fully comes alive and expresses itself.\u00a0 In contrast, conventional wines made from grapes with pesticides and then manipulated in the winery, are dead and once opened and exposed to oxygen, only decline…<\/p>\n

I will continue to focus on wines made naturally and I will hopefully also eventually have the will power to keep a bottle open for a longer period.\u00a0 Please stay tuned.<\/p>\n
