Petulant Naturel N/V

- 90 points -

Hazy gold color. Ripe nectarine, poached pear, honey and pungent flowers on the deeply perfumed nose. Plush, expansive and spicy on the palate, offering ripe orchard and pit fruit flavors and a jolt of candied ginger. The gingery quality drives a long, sappy finish that picks up a suggestion of lavender. Wild stuff, and sure to work well with a range of highly seasoned or full-flavored foods, especially cheeses and charcuterie.
