Les Tètes Pineau d'Aunis 2024 Review
Pineau d’Aunis is one of the unsung red grapes of France’s Loire Valley. Though Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir might reign supreme in the cool-climate area, this rare grape has grabbed the attention of chillable-red-lovers over the past several years. This expression from Les Tètes shows that while a wine can be light in body and alcohol level (at just 10.5 percent ABV), it can still offer impressive depth of flavor. The nose opens with spiced red fruits and the palate reveals layers of raspberries, cranberries, blood orange, and white pepper. Totally quaffable yet surprisingly complex.
