Je T'ai Dans La Peau

“A la vôtre!” is one of the ten first bottles of natural wine I tried in my life.

It’s made out of an obscure grape called “menu pineau” or “orbois” that only grows in Loire, France. This 2022 cuvée is skin contact with a bit of tannins, quite refreshing, with a nice salinity. Citric, and citrusy, I’d recommend drinking quite fast though. 2022 has been the more juicy cuvée I had. In past years, the wine seemed more cloudy, earthy, and tannic. Anyhow, it’s quite a joyful bottle to get and share in one go!

Fun fact, “A la vôtre!” means “Cheers to you!” in formal french.
