Avis de Tempête = "storm warning", a very cool negociant label from Raphael Monnier (from Domaine Ratapoil) and his protege Marie Bourdon - they specialize in exciting one-off cuvees made from organic/biodynamic fruit sourced from Jura (but labelled Vin de France) but this vintage is sourced far south from Luberon, France finished in their cellar in Jura.
Amber color, nose of honey, legs for days, minerals, petroleum, orange blossoms, lemon meringue, anise, weighty white, ripe and savory, juicy yet complex. Rich, compelling, and delicious.
