Note and review by M. HUGUES G. Published on 03/09/2022
to begin with, you should warn in bold that this is a natural wine, with all that that entails. Deviations: gouache and stable finish. What's more, your descriptions of this wine are wrong...color, nose and mouth. Natural wines are a scam. There are false connoisseurs for this type of wine, but it's abuse of vulnerable people. There would never have been any great wines without a minimum addition of sulfur. Pure heresy.
