Château Tire Pé - Vin de France La Nomade 2019/2020
15/20
RVF
"100% Pineau d'Aunis"
A very old and somewhat forgotten grape variety, Pineau d'Aunis delivers a subtle and charming cuvée in this blend of two vintages: 2019 and 2020. Certainly originating in the southwest, this nomadic grape variety is thought to have passed through the Charentes (Aunis and Saintonge) before settling in the Loire Valley, where it thrives particularly well on the banks of the Loir. Aged in clay pots, the wine offers delicacy and freshness with notes of red berries, raspberry, spices, and pepper. A delight!

Bettane & Desseauve
Winery rated 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
On 13.5 hectares, David Barrault produces three main vintages: Tire-Pé, a wine for immediate enjoyment vinified in vats, made almost exclusively from Merlot; Les Malbecs, from the only plot of Malbec grown from mass selection; and La Côte, a racy wine that does not seek to imitate the greats but expresses its own personality. There is also a delicious rosé, powerful and fresh, and more recently the cuvée tire'vin'vite, 100% Merlot, without sulfites, to be drunk quickly, as its name suggests, a pure delight.

About the estate:
At the very end of the Saint-Macaire hillsides, near La Réole, the terroir of Hélène and David Barrault's small estate is something of a curiosity. The soil, dotted with almost surface-level limestone, on which the very classic Merlot, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc varieties are planted, has a remarkable identity. In addition, in 2012 the couple planted mass selections of rare grape varieties, unearthed from the depths of Gironde's ampelography. Finding the plants was no easy task, but the result in the bottle lives up to expectations. Nothing is ordinary on the estate, neither the grape varieties nor the methods of aging in demi-muid barrels, concrete vats, and jars.
