Jean-Pierre Robinot, 'Nocturne' 2023 Chenin Blanc Cabernet Franc at its bestPlace: Loire, France Grape: Pineau d'Aunis Vibe: Classic, richer Old vine Pineau d'Aunis, like, seriously old. Whole bunch fermented, then a year (and a bit) in barrel. Lifted and vibrant from a cooler vintage, making this just so easy. Complexity in spades too, nicely spiced with plenty of herbal character. Oh Robinot, youve done it again. ABV: 11%
