• Young one-man show in Southwest Beaujolais whose alter ego is a rapper/poet
• Chardonnay from a small single vineyard in Beaujolais Village
• Super fresh style done in stainless, no oak or Malo, 1g of added SO2 -- not your mama's buttery Chard!
• Vibrant citrus and sickly yellow plums from a chalice made of wet stone
• Crisp, salty and dripping with minerality
